Ending A Domestic Partnership - Divorce, Legal Separation & Annulment Overview
The California Courts Self Help Center has a discussion for people who have registered their domestic partnership with the California Secretary of State or the equivalent in another state (such as a civil union in Vermont).
Domestic partners have a special form to start their case for dissolution, legal separation or annulment of their domestic partnership. These forms are 1) Petition - Domestic Partnership (Family Law) (form FL-103) and 2) Response - Domestic Partnership (Family Law) (form FL-123). For all other forms to complete their divorce, legal separation or annulment, domestic partners will just use the same forms as those used by married persons.
