What is a civil partnership dissolution

Associate Solicitor Hannah Porter explains dissolution and if a couple in a civil partnership decide to separate, how does the process works.

As an alternative to marriage, the civil partnership is a legal way for two people of the same or opposite sex to have their relationship legally recognised. However, just like marriages, civil partnerships can break down.
