Civil Partnership Solution
Article 17 of the law provides for the ways of dissolving the Civil Partnership. Civil Partnership may be dissolved as follows:
- By written joint Declaration of the Conventions,
- By Decree of the Court of the Province in which it is concluded,
- By operation of law, in the case of a marriage between the Parties; or
- upon the death of one of the parties.
Dissolution of Civil Partnership by Joint Declaration of the Parties
A written Joint Declaration of the parties to dissolve a Civil Partnership is made in person at the offices of the Registrar before whom the Civil Partnership has been concluded and at least two witnesses who are at least 18 years of age and of sound mind.
The Joint Declaration shall be made on a standard form called the Joint Declaration of Dissolution of Civil Partnership. Upon registration of the Joint Declaration, a Joint Declaration Registration Certificate shall be served in duplicate on the Couples, duly completed and signed by the Registrar or his authorized representative.
Termination by Joint Declaration shall take effect 60 days from the date of registration of the declaration in the Register, unless the Partners withdraw the declaration of termination of the Civil Partnership by another written joint declaration, which shall be made in the same procedure as the joint declaration.
