Civil Partnerships — Same-Sex Marriage in England and Wales
The Civil Partnership Act 2004 provides for the registration of civil partnerships for same sex- couples in England and Wales. Civil partnerships grant the partners most of the same rights that marriage gives to opposite-sex couples.
The family lawyers of Rollingsons Solicitors Ltd deliver comprehensive advice on the benefits of entering into a civil partnership agreement before the registration of the civil partnership takes place, thereby protecting your interest from the outset.
Should your civil partnership encounter problems then we can assist on the steps to be taken to obtain a dissolution.
Because of the far-reaching nature of the legislation on civil partnerships, we can help you with:
- Maintenance payments pending the conclusion of the financial matters arising from the dissolution
- Financial disclosure, whether on a voluntary or formal court proceedings basis
- Ongoing maintenance payments
- Pensions and pension sharing
- Dealing with the family home, other properties, the family business, shares and other assets, whether in joint names or in a sole name
- Other financial provisions arising from the dissolution
- Asset protection
- All matters concerning children
