Civil Partnerships
OVERVIEW
Civil partnerships offer a legal way to formalise a relationship, with many of the same rights and responsibilities as marriage.
Civil partnerships were originally introduced for same-sex couples in 2005 and have been available to opposite-sex couples since 2019.
Whether you’re considering a civil partnership or need advice following a separation, it’s important to understand how it works and what it means for you.

What to expect
A civil partnership is formed by signing a legal document, rather than exchanging vows.
It provides legal recognition of your relationship and covers areas such as:
- Finances and property
- Inheritance rights
- Pension and tax considerations
Why it matters
Entering a civil partnership creates legal rights and responsibilities, similar to marriage.
If the relationship ends, there may be financial matters and legal arrangements to resolve, so it’s important to understand your position.
