Civil partnerships

10/2/2019

Recent changes announced by the Government will open the door for all couples to consider a Civil Partnership as an option to marriage.

The key differences in a civil partnership to a marriage are:

Couples joined through a civil partnership cannot call themselves ‘married’ for legal purposes. However they are treated as "married" for tax and legal matters.
Civil partnerships must be dissolved through the courts but adultery is not recognised in civil partnerships and is therefore not considered as grounds for divorce.
Civil partnership certificates include names of the parents of both participants, whereas marriage certificates require only the names of the fathers of the couple

Choosing a Celebrant to help you create that special ceremony is an important step towards making your occasion a really memorable one. Why not take advantage of the free initial meeting I offer ? I believe it is important to meet informally to discuss your ideas and what I can offer. Meeting also gives us an opportunity to explore the type of ceremony that would best suit your needs.
