Remedies on dissolution

When a civil partnership is dissolved the partners will no longer have the protection assumed from occupancy rights. [1] A court granting the dissolution of a civil partnership can also make orders regarding the family home if asked to do so. [2]

If requested by the civil partner making the application, the court can make an incidental order to the dissolution of the civil partnership regulating the occupation of the family home. [3] Such an order needs to be justified by reference to the general principles used by the court in deciding how to regulate finances between the parties. [4]
