Same-sex relationships

The legal system has progressed significantly in terms of supporting the rights of same-sex couples. You can now marry in a civil ceremony or within a religious organisation if that organisation has opted to conduct same-sex marriages.

Our clients come to us with a variety of issues concerning same-sex relationships, including:

  • Living together (cohabitation)
  • Civil partnerships
  • Pre-civil partnership agreement
  • Civil partnership divorce (known as dissolution)
  • Separation agreements
  • Child-related issues

Our clients are often unsure of their legal rights, particularly when it comes to a relationship breakdown and the dissolving of a civil partnership. The law now states that married couples of the same sex have the same rights as married heterosexual couples and our experienced lawyers can guide and advise you through the process.

Please do not delay contact us to arrange an informal chat about your situation. Call us now on 01992 505406 (International callers +44 1992 505 406) or complete our Online Enquiry Form and we will soon be in touch. Or email info@betteridges.com.
