What does civil partnerships in family law involve?

Formation of civil partnerships: Drafting and filing the necessary legal documents to formally register a civil partnership, ensuring compliance with statutory requirements.
Rights and responsibilities: Advising on the legal rights, duties, and benefits that arise from entering a civil partnership, including financial, property, and parental responsibilities.
Dissolution procedures: Managing the process of ending a civil partnership, including obtaining a dissolution order and addressing any associated disputes.
Financial settlements: Negotiating and resolving issues related to the division of assets, spousal support, and other financial matters during dissolution.
Child arrangements: Addressing parental responsibility and child custody matters, particularly when a civil partnership dissolves and children are involved.
Dispute resolution: Handling any conflicts that arise during the partnership or its dissolution through negotiation, mediation, or court proceedings.

How can a solicitor help with civil partnerships in family law, and what does it cost?

Provide tailored legal advice: Explaining your rights and obligations under civil partnership law and advising on the best course of action—whether you’re forming or dissolving a partnership.
Draft and review legal documents: Preparing or reviewing registration forms, dissolution applications, settlement agreements, and consent orders to ensure they meet legal standards.
Negotiate settlements: Working with both parties to reach fair financial and property settlements, as well as resolving child-related issues if necessary.
Represent you in court: Advocating on your behalf during court proceedings if disputes cannot be resolved through negotiation or mediation.
Guide you through the entire process: Providing step-by-step support from the initial consultation through to finalising your civil partnership or its dissolution.

Costs vary depending on the complexity of your case, the extent of negotiations or litigation required, and the solicitor’s experience. Hourly rates typically range from £150 to £400, though many firms offer fixed-fee or staged-fee packages for standard civil partnership matters. An initial consultation—often free or offered at a reduced rate—will help you understand your legal position, explore your options, and obtain an accurate estimate of the potential expenses involved.
