dissolution of civil partnerships

The process of dissolving a Civil Partnership would appear to be straightforward but, be warned; it is very easy to make a simple mistake in the completion of the initial petition to commence the process, and then face serious difficulties in seeking to conclude your dissolution. It is from the very outset that you should seek advice in relation to the law surrounding and the expertise required in drafting such a petition.

If you have received a petition for dissolution of your civil partnership it is important that you seek advice prior to responding to the petition. It is possible for information contained within a petition to be used in evidence against you in other family proceedings. Our experienced team will be able to negotiate amendments to a petition to try to avoid such situations occurring.

The process for dissolution of your civil partnership is usually dealt with by postal communications with the parties and the court. In the event that attendance at court is required in relation to the divorce, our offices in Southend and Chelmsford are both situated close to the County Court in each town.
