Cancellation or "divorce" of the civil partnership


Procedure

Your attorney must petition the family court on your behalf for annulment.

  • The court will serve the petition for annulment on your domestic partner. There is no requirement to be represented by a lawyer for the approval of the petition for divorce.
  • At the hearing on the petition for annulment, the partners are usually heard in person on the conditions for annulment.
  • If the requirements for dissolution are met, the family court will pronounce dissolution of the civil partnership by way of an order.
