Experienced Southern California
Attorneys for Domestic Partnership Dissolution
Generally, ending a domestic partnership or civil union is done in one of two ways: By filing a Notice of Termination of Domestic Partnership with the California Secretary of State or by obtaining a judgment from the Superior Court.
That said — ending a civil union or registered domestic partnership is very similar to divorce in that domestic partners must come to an agreement on matters such as child custody and visitation, property division, and support before the dissolution can be granted. This area of law is going through significant changes. Our attorneys are very experienced in these areas and can help you.
At Holstrom, Sissung, Marks & Anderson, our lawyers have the skill and experience needed to represent both same-sex couples and "traditional" couples effectively in these and all family law matters.
