Couples who are older than the age of 18 and have obtained a court order granting them the permission to establish a domestic partnership
ENDING YOUR DOMESTIC PARTNERSHIP:
- California for the last 6 months, AND
- The county where you plan to file the divorce for the last three (3) months
If you and your domestic partner do not live in California, when you file to end your domestic partnership in California, the court may not be able to make orders about other issues like property and debt, partner support, or your children.
NOTE: If you are in both, a same-sex marriage AND a domestic partnership, and you want to end both at the same time, you must meet the requirements for both.
