Registering the ending of a civil partnership in the civil registry in the Netherlands
Have you had your civil partnership ended by a lawyer or notary? Then they will register the final order (Akte ontbinding van geregistreerd partnerschap) with the civil registry (burgerlijke stand). Have you had your civil partnership ended by a court? Then the court will have the final order registered with the civil registry.
Ending a civil partnership outside of the courts
Your lawyer or notary sends the final order to the civil registry for registration. This is done within 3 months.
Ending a civil partnership by a judge in court
If a judge ends your civil partnership, registration with the civil registry follows within 6 months.
The final order should be registered with the registry office of the municipality where you formed your civil partnership. You must do this within 3 months if the final order is issued by a lawyer or notary, 6 months if issued by a court. Only then is your civil partnership legally ended.
This is how it works for you
Here is some information from your municipality.
Report divorce or end of registered partnership.
If you want to divorce or request termination of a partnership, you can arrange this under the supervision of your lawyer.
You must hire a lawyer for a divorce or termination of a registered partnership. Your lawyer will tell you what you need, what you need to provide and how the procedure will go.
A marriage officially ends when the judge pronounces the divorce. Your lawyer can submit a request to the court for this. Are you and your partner filing for divorce together? Then you can choose the same lawyer. Do you disagree? Then you each have to choose your own lawyer.
A registered partnership officially ends by a court decision or a statement from you and your partner. The latter is only possible if you and your partner agree. A lawyer or notary must also sign the statement. Do you have joint custody of minor children? Then you must dissolve the registered partnership through the courts.
For more information, please contact a lawyer.
