Get in touch with a civil partnership solicitor

For further information on any of the above services or to book an appointment with one of our specialist civil partnership dissolution solicitors please call your nearest office or complete the enquiry form and a member of our team will be in touch.

Just as in divorce, we will aim to have your dissolution settled amicably and outside of court through mediation or negotiation. If this is possible, the court will approve the agreement you and your partner have come to and make an order that reflects it. However, if for example you and your partner cannot come to an agreement on crucial matters such as finances, litigation may be necessary. If this is the case, Fishers Solicitors specialist team of civil partnership dissolution solicitors will be right by your side to guide you through the court process with ease and expertise.

 

What is the cost?

While Legal Aid is no longer available for divorce or dissolution cases, Fishers Solicitors offer a fixed fee initial appointment where you can discuss your situation with our expert civil partnership solicitor. You will leave the meeting with a clear understanding of your options, the likely costs, and the probable timescales concerned.

 

We are also able to offer various other services on a fixed fee basis including drafting agreements. For more information on Fishers Solicitors fixed fee options click here.
