Municipality of Midden-Groningen: registering the ending of a civil partnership in the civil registry

• Are there minor children involved or are you not in agreement with each other? Then the approach is the same as in divorce cases, and it must go through the court.
• If you are in agreement, an attorney or notary can create an agreement to end the registered partnership.
• The agreement must be sent to the municipality where the registered partnership was established. Usually, the attorney will forward this. You may also do it yourself.
• Within 3 months, this agreement must be processed by that municipality. The municipality where you currently live will automatically receive notification about this. After that, your registered partnership will be officially terminated.

Registration of the ending of a civil partnership is free of charge.

The municipality will process the data within 1 week.
