Ending a civil partnership can be a difficult and emotional decision, but it is also a legal process that requires care, clarity, and the right support. At Lyons Bowe, our experienced Family Law team is here to guide you through every stage of a civil partnership dissolution with compassion and expertise.

A civil partnership dissolution is the legal process of bringing a civil partnership to an end. It is similar to divorce, but specifically for couples in a civil partnership. To apply for a dissolution, you must have been in the partnership for at least one year.
Since the introduction of “no-fault” divorce and dissolution laws, you no longer need to prove reasons such as adultery or unreasonable behaviour. Instead, you simply need to make a statement that your relationship has broken down irretrievably. This makes the process more straightforward and often less stressful.
Throughout this process, important issues such as finances, property, and arrangements for children may also need to be resolved.
The dissolution itself does not settle financial matters or childcare arrangements. These must be agreed separately, either through negotiation, mediation, or, if necessary, a court order. At Lyons Bowe, we help our clients protect their interests and reach fair agreements for the future.
If you are considering ending a civil partnership or need advice about your options, our team at Lyons Bowe is here to help. We will guide you through the process with sensitivity and care, ensuring you have the information and support you need to make the right decisions.

The Mirror Guy, Firm Review
Excellent service. Quietly attentive, sympathetic listeners, and efficient practitioners, all that a worried applicant could wish for. And especially unusual in this day and age....
Brian, Firm Review
Honestly I've never wanted to review solicitors before, they've been ok and have done their job at varying timescales. From the start, my partner and I have commented every single time when something happened how quick they are, and they're a delight to communicate with too! And their app is brilliant and has made things so much easier. We will use in the future and will not stop recommending.
Chris, Firm Review
I recently used Lyons Bowe Solicitors and had the pleasure of working with Holly as my point of contact. From start to finish, the service was outstanding. Holly was professional, approachable, and incredibly efficient - she kept me updated throughout the entire process and made everything feel smooth and stress-free.
Manuel, Firm Review
Rhea, and everyone so far at Lyons Bowe, have been truly fantastic. Excellent communication, chasing me rather than me chasing them, very pleasant in conversation and always ready to help. Highly recommend to anyone.
