CIVIL PARTNERSHIP DISSOLUTION

Many people don’t know the difference between civil partnership dissolution and divorce, but the answer is quite simple: Dissolution is usually for people in a civil partnership while a divorce is for legally married couples.

You can apply for a Civil partnership dissolution if your partnership has lasted for at least one year. You will need to apply for a court for the order, and accordingly to the new law, you no longer need to provide reasonable reasons or ‘grounds’ to apply.

You can easily apply on the Government website. They have lots of information and links to help. In case you have any children with your partner, you will also need to work out the arrangements for looking after the children and/or divide your money and property if you have them, to avoid going to court.

You and your partner have been separated for more than 2 years: When both of you agreed with the dissolution or 5 years when one of you disagrees with the dissolution.

After April 2022 you can ask for dissolution without giving a reason or ‘ground’ and you will be also able to apply online weather than by post only.

Bought my first home which completed today, and I could not be happier!My Solicitor, Katie Dwyer, was absolutely fantastic and helped me each step of the way. Her guidance, professionalism and support was second to none. She even went out of her way to assist by attending a meeting in the evening to ensure that documents were completed when needed. I honestly could not have had a better Solicitor. If you want a fantastic Solicitor, contact Katie at Eddowes Perry & Osbourne. She was recommended to me. I, like a lot of others, have come to realise that Katie is not only a truly talented Solicitor, but also an incredible person.

We had the pleasure of having Maria as our conveyancing solicitor, for my purchase and sales that concluded couple of weeks ago. Right from the start of the engagement, I found Maria very professional, transparent and courteous. She ticked all the boxes that one could think of to make the rather complex conveyancing process smooth and easier. Given the post covid market conditions having a right solicitors was very important and I can only be thankful to Maria and the EPO team for overcoming the challenges on our sales and our purchase to ensure timely completion. At all times she kept us well informed about the progress and provided us with a first class service in terms of the guidance and ensuring appropriate due diligence. Can’t thank Maria and her team enough for their hard work. Maria is trustworthy and a safe pair of hands for any conveyancing needs.

I found it easy to contact this company and their communication is exceptionally good. An appointment for my mother to have a home visit was quickly arranged for a date and time that suited her. The solicitor took the trouble to comply with the Covid restrictions at my mother’s accommodation and the visit was not at all rushed. The solicitor put my mother at ease and was particularly courteous and helpful. Having taken my mother’s instructions the solicitor quickly produced the draft document and arranged for a follow up visit for the final document to be signed. This involved some more work than was originally quoted for but the invoice was for the quoted amount. The solicitor was thoroughly professional and efficient but, importantly for my mother, friendly and approachable. I wish that I had used this company for other legal work that I have needed recently as I am sure that I would have had a much better experience. I would definitely use this company for any future work and wholeheartedly recommend them to others. Thanks very much for such an excellent and considerate job.
