Representing Gay and Lesbian Couples Going Through a Divorce
The Civil Partnership Act 2004 granted same-sex couples the right to form unions and enjoy equal rights and benefits as traditional heterosexual marriages. Now, more than five years later, some lesbian and gay couples are deciding to end their domestic partnerships (also called registered partnerships). The decisions they make during this time can have significant consequences, so it is important to seek advice from an experienced family law solicitor.
Haider Kennedy, in Croydon, offers a no-charge consultation for those seeking to dissolve civil partnerships. No matter what the partnership dissolution involves, we can guide our clients through the legal processes to help them find a workable solution. We want our clients to move forward from their civil marriage feeling satisfied with the outcome and ready to start their new life.
Our Croydon civil partnership lawyers advises clients throughout the London and South East England on civil partnership dissolution matters such as:
- Dividing pensions
- Dividing business interests held by one or both partners
- Dividing current and investment accounts
- Dividing equity in the shared home
- Dividing other assets, such as private property
- Establishing child residence and support if children were involved
- Establishing maintenance when appropriate
We understand that the dissolution of partnership is an emotional time. We keep our clients' overall interests in mind as we work toward resolving these issues in mediation, or in family court.
