What next?
Contact our Family Law Team and we will guide you through what can be a complex area of law. There are a number of issues to consider:
- The actual process of dissolution. It is a court process and you will need expert advice.
- Children of the civil partnership. With whom should they live? What is in the best interests of the child? How will contact with the other parent be regulated? What about school? Grandparents?
- The home. Will you stay in the home? Your partner? Or should it be sold? If so, what should happen to the proceeds?
- Other assets such as business, investments, savings, cars, holiday homes, furniture, wedding presents etc. Who keeps what? What of family pets?
- Pensions and policies. How should these be split?
- Joint bank accounts and credit cards. What of any debts?
- Should one party be entitled to a larger share of the assets than the other? Many different factors can be taken into account.
This is just the tip of the iceberg in many cases. Some partners own a number of properties in different countries; are in business partnerships; are directors of the same companies etc.
