A civil partnership can only be ended on the death of one party, dissolution or annulment. A breakdown of a civil partnership may give rise to various issues including financial claims and arrangements for children.

A civil partnership is a legal status for couples who register their relationship, giving them similar rights and responsibilities to married couples. The implications for tax matters, state benefits and inheritance are far reaching. Our specialist civil partnership solicitors can:
