Civil partnership law & legal advice

The Civil Partnership Act came into effect in December 2005 and Sussex was one of the first places in the UK to host a registration ceremony.

Once you have registered your civil partnership the same legal rights exist within a civil partnership as exist in a marriage, for example with financial claims and financial settlements.

There are few differences between a civil partnership and a marriage and civil partnerships are open to people of both the same and opposite sex. Some individuals prefer a civil partnership because it does not have the religious connotations of a marriage. Like a marriage, a civil partnership can only be ended by a court order, in the same way as a divorce. This is known as dissolution.
