Civil partnership dissolution

When a civil partnership breaks down, the formal process of dissolution may feel like a huge step to take. Whether you have individually or collectively decided to apply for a dissolution, our solicitors can provide you with the support you need.

At Owen White Catlin, we support clients through every stage of a civil partnership dissolution. From making an initial application, through to final terms around finances, assets and children, we will provide practical advice that ensures you have clarity over your situation.

Our expert family law team help clients through dissolution, delivering straightforward solutions to the issues that can arise during the process.

Our civil partnership dissolution solicitors offer:

  • Guidance on eligibility for dissolution and what the process involves
  • Support in making or responding to a sole or joint dissolution application
  • Advice on additional arrangements following dissolution, including those involving finances and children

As with divorce, dissolution marks the end of the legal relationship between two people. Whether you, your partner, or both of you make the decision to work towards that, a range of practical and emotional challenges will come into play as the process of dividing assets and planning for the future takes shape.

We are members of Resolution and, as part of our commitment to helping clients achieve a ‘better’ separation, we encourage less confrontational and costly routes to resolution than the court can provide.

Alternative dispute resolution, such as mediation, will be considered and offers a quicker, more cost-effective and constructive way of agreeing arrangements for the future, which can be particularly helpful where children are involved.   We offer mediation and our mediators are registered with both Resolution and the Family Mediation Council.

Our fixed price service for civil partnership dissolution means you’ll know exactly what your dissolution will cost. Where unforeseen additional work is needed, we will let you know about this straightaway and explain how it will affect our fees.
