Civil Partnerships

Civil partners need specialist advice and we can help you whether you need advice on pre-registration agreements, registration, dissolution, financial settlements and children matters. Post separation, we can advise on dissolution of the partnership, financial settlements and children disputes, including parental responsibility and shared care, as well as the effect of the new fertility treatment legislation.

Since 21st December 2005, same sex couples in England and Wales have been able to become civil partners. If your relationship ends we can assist you with:

• bringing your civil partnership to an end
• procedure for ending your civil partnership
• financial claims upon dissolution of a civil partnership
• factors which govern the division of assets
• protection from domestic violence
• children
• children conceived via assisted reproduction
