I Need to End My Domestic Partnership. What Do I Do First?

Family Law Attorneys Serving Riverside, Corona, Norco and Surrounding Areas

First, you talk to us. At the Law Offices of John Joseph Buckey, Jr. and Associates, we want to know all about what is going on. We will start by asking you what led to your decision to end your domestic partnership. Then, we'll take the time to explain the process and all of your options

Domestic partners who choose to end their partnerships have a lot of the same choices to make as do couples in divorce: how to handle property division, child custody and visitation, child support and, in some cases, arrangements similar to alimony.

At the Law Offices of John Joseph Buckey, Jr. and Associates, we offer high-caliber legal services to both same-sex and heterosexual couples looking to dissolve their domestic partnerships. Understandably, this is often an emotional time, and we are committed to working with you to help find as amicable a resolution as possible while protecting your rights.

We Offer Free Initial Consultations

Call us at 1-888-591-8958 or send us an e-mail to tell us about your unique situation. Our experienced lawyers will listen to your specific concerns about dissolving your domestic partnership during a free initial consultation.

Protecting Our Clients in Domestic Partnership Dissolution

Our family law attorneys will take the time to listen and understand your unique situation. Everyone's story is different. We want to know the dynamics between you and your estranged domestic partner. If you have children together or separately, we will benefit from understanding the living arrangements you shared.

When appropriate, we work closely with forensic accountants to understand our clients' financial situations, including what assets you and your estranged partner shared and how those assets were treated during your domestic partnership. Our goal in the property settlement process is to help you obtain an equitable division of all our shared property and debt. We will ensure you retain any property outlined in your prenuptial agreement, as well as any assets you managed outside of your domestic partnership.

Our attorneys are effective negotiators with extensive experience protecting your rights and the best interests of your children as child custody and parenting time arrangements are decided. We are committed to finding ways both parents can remain an integral part of their children's lives.

As time passes, we can also assist you with any modifications you may need to your child custody, parenting or support orders. These changes are necessary when you experience substantial changes, such as relocation, changes in income, and alterations in the needs of your children. Whether you have plans to move away or your child wants to attend a private school, we will be here to help.

We Keep Fees Reasonable

Our lawyers believe that effective legal representation can come at reasonable fees. We keep our fees reasonable, partly because we do not add phone calls between you and us to your bill. From your initial consultation on, all calls are free.
