How long have you been in a civil partnership?

No. Unless the courts decide that you should be paying something upon the disolvation (??) such as spousal maintainance (don't know what the term is for civil partnerships!) The OR will not permit any expenses for an ex-partner (with the exception of court orders or maintainence for children).

Hi

Not really sure how it works with Civil Partnerships, at the moment my divorce is going through and basically I was advised if I were to go BR I would have to do it before our financial settlement was agreed (the last court date) and then the BR Order would take presidence over the Divorce settlement (if that makes sense), Again this was in my case and I obv don't want to give you the wrong advice.

Sorry can't be much help but I'm sure someone will be along soon who can help you.
