Civil Partnership Dissolution
Civil Partnership Dissolution, Alton
Civil partnerships allow couples, typically same-sex couples, to become married in the eyes of the law by “registering” their relationship. They have the same rights as married couples regarding inheritance, tax and dissolution (the equivalent of divorce).
Much like the divorce process, there is much to consider when a civil partnership is dissolved, from distributing joint finances to creating arrangements for children; taking the time to ensure that your dissolution runs smoothly and amicably will be a priority.
To speak to one of our friendly, experienced family lawyers, please call 01420 558336 or email enquiries@bookersandbolton.co.uk.
