Civil Partnership Lawyers Dublin

Our civil partnership lawyers can help if you’re entering into a partnership, or looking to dissolve one. We’re particularly experienced in cases involving complex financial or child law issues – from pre-partnership agreements, to using a surrogate to have a child.

Civil partnership is not the same as a gay marriage, but the rules and legal principles concerning the creation and dissolution of civil partnerships are based in the most part on those governing marriage. Before entering into a civil partnership couples may want to clarify what should happen regarding their finances in the event of separation and in these circumstances, you may want to draw up a pre-partnership agreement.

Ending a civil partnership

In the event that your civil partnership breaks down you will need to apply for a dissolution which is the equivalent of a divorce. If children are involved legal representation can ensure the appropriate arrangements are made. The court may end a civil partnership on an application by either of the parties.

Upon dissolution it is open to either partner to make an application in relation to the partnership finances, and such issues are dealt with in very much the same manner that financial disputes between married couples would be dealt with.
