Why enter into a Civil Partnership?

Relationships are a very important aspect of our lives. A civil partnership provides a way of protecting each partner within a relationship both legally and financially while avoiding the traditions and religious connotations that are involved with marriages.
A civil partnership will also give your relationship a legal status and certain rights which cannot be conferred through cohabitation. Complete our online form and we will get back to you to discuss your rights and responsibilities in a civil partnership.

Entering a Civil Partnership

When you and your partner have made the decision to enter into a civil partnership your first step is to decide where you are going to have your civil partnership ceremony. This must be done before you ‘give notice’ at a regional register office that you wish to register your relationship as a civil partnership. ‘Giving notice’ involves signing a legal statement that you intend to enter into a civil partnership. This must be done at least 29 days before your ceremony and the ceremony itself must be held within 12 months.

How do I dissolve a civil partnership?

Dissolving a civil partnership can be a difficult decision to make. At Family Law Birmingham we will strive to make the process as smooth as possible. Ending a civil partnership is ended in much the same way as a divorce but can only be done when the civil partnership has lasted for at least one year. Our specialist family law solicitors will take the time to get to know you and your specific circumstances and provide expert advice tailored to your needs.
