Our civil partnership expertise

Our team advises on the full range of civil partnership matters, from formation through to dissolution and beyond.

Forming a civil partnership

Civil partnerships offer couples a way to formalise their relationship with legal recognition. We provide advice on the rights and responsibilities involved, as well as drafting civil partnership agreements to give you clarity over financial and property matters.

Dissolution of civil partnership

When a relationship breaks down, our solicitors offer guidance on the civil partnership dissolution process. We’ll help you prepare the application for dissolution of civil partnership, guide you through completing the correct civil partnership dissolution forms, and explain the likely civil partnership dissolution cost so you know what to expect.

Financial settlements for civil partners

Just like in divorce cases, financial arrangements must be resolved fairly when dissolving a civil partnership. Our team provides expert advice on dividing assets, pensions, property, and debts, helping you reach a settlement that protects your future.

Parental rights in civil partnerships

For civil partners with children, we provide advice on parental rights and responsibilities, including child arrangements and financial support. Our solicitors always prioritise the welfare of the child while supporting parents to find fair solutions.

Frequently asked questions about civil partnerships

What is a civil partnership?

A civil partnership is a legally recognised relationship between two people, giving them similar rights and responsibilities as marriage.

How to apply for a civil partnership

You must give notice at your local register office. Once registered, the civil partnership can be formed in a civil ceremony. Our solicitors can also draft civil partnership agreements to protect your interests.

How much does a civil partnership solicitor cost?

The cost depends on the complexity of your case. For example, fees for drafting agreements will differ from those for handling dissolutions. At Clarke & Son, we provide transparent costs upfront and can offer fixed-fee options where appropriate.

How to dissolve a civil partnership

To end a civil partnership, you must apply to court for a dissolution order. This involves completing an application for dissolution of civil partnership, supported by a statement that the partnership has irretrievably broken down. Our solicitors can manage the process, ensuring the paperwork is correct and guiding you on any related financial or parental matters.
