For the last several years gay couples in britain have been allowed to celebrate what are known as civil partnerships. A divorce solicitor is there to advise you on how to dissolve your civil partnership if it happens to break down. It is best if you can get legal help as soon as you realise your relationship has broken down. The grounds for dissolving a civil partnership are virtually identical to the divorce laws for dissolving a marriage but you will need the help of a divorce solicitor to file your petition. Although the only grounds for dissolving a marriage or a civil partnership these days are the irretrievable breakdown of that relationship, you still need to establish certain facts with your divorce lawyer in order to do this. Some of the things that people cite as grounds for the irretrievable breakdown of a relationship are abusive behaviour, financial issues, adultery and perverse sexual practices. Your divorce solicitor is there to help you with your statement and then to put the information into a form that is acceptable to the court.

Providing your partner agrees that the relationship has irretrievably broken down, then you will both have to sign the statement the other has made before your respective divorce lawyers submit papers to the court. Just as in a traditional marriage, if your partner does not agree that the relationship has broken down then your solicitor may try to persuade the two of you to go for mediation. As a general rule the courts require mediation in cases where one partner contests the dissolution or where there are arguments about money and property.

Once some sort of agreement has been reached then according to the divorce laws in England and Wales, your divorce solicitor will lodge your petition with the court. Once the documents are in the hands of the court, and depending on how many other petitions the court has to deal with, it can take from three to six months for the equivalent to a decree nissi to come through. The documents relating to the final dissolution of a civil partnership, the decree absolute, should arrive six weeks after that.

Before the court will grant your petition that the civil partnership has broken down, they will want some details of how any property and finances are to be divided, just as they would be in a marriage. Your divorce solicitor will be able to help you with this and providing you and your partner can agree on what is to be done about joint property and assets, it shouldn't be a problem.

    The Family Court is a kangaroo court because of its predictable and unconstitutional outcome - an outcome that deprives a father of his children, and most all his fundamental rights.

And here are the perverted and unconstitutional characteristics that allow this to be so.
