Reporting the dissolution or termination of registered partnership

Do you have any children under 18? In that case, you must dissolve the partnership. This is done by the court. A lawyer will arrange this for you. Together, you make arrangements about matters, the house, money and children. The court must approve these agreements.

Are you in agreement on the dissolution? If so, submit the court’s ruling (order) to the civil registry of the local authority where the partnership was registered within 6 months. Usually, the lawyer will arrange this for you. The partnership is not officially dissolved until the local authority has entered the order in the civil registries.

Don’t you have children? And do you agree with each other on matters such as dividing the belongings, money and property? In that case, you can also have the registered partnership terminated. This is faster and less unnecessarily complicated than a dissolution. You will need to go to a lawyer or civil-law notary together. There, you will have a settlement drawn up containing the agreements made. The lawyer or civil-law notary prepares a statement. This states that the partnership has ended. The lawyer or civil-law notary delivers this declaration to the civil registry of the local authority where you registered the partnership within 3 months. The partnership is not officially dissolved until the local authority has entered the order in the civil registries.

Entry in the civil registries is free of charge.
