As of my last knowledge update in the UK, the legal process for dissolving a civil partnership requires demonstrating that the partnership has irretrievably broken down. To prove the irretrievable breakdown, one of the following four facts must be established:

Unreasonable Behaviour:
- This involves proving that your partner has behaved in such a way that you cannot reasonably be expected to live with them. Examples might include physical or verbal abuse, financial irresponsibility, or other conduct that makes it unreasonable to continue the partnership.
Desertion:
- To prove desertion, it must be shown that your partner has deserted you for a continuous period of at least two years. Desertion involves the intentional abandonment of the partnership without justification.
Two Years’ Separation with Consent:
- If you and your partner have lived separately for a continuous period of at least two years and both agree to the dissolution, this can be grounds for ending the civil partnership.
Five Years’ Separation (No Consent Required):
- If you have lived separately from your partner for a continuous period of at least five years, the court may grant a dissolution even if your partner does not consent.

It’s important to note that the legal landscape can change, and you should consult with a legal professional or check the latest resources to ensure you have the most up-to-date information regarding the requirements for the breakdown of civil partnerships in the UK. Additionally, family law is complex, and seeking the guidance of a solicitor is advisable for personalized advice based on your specific situation.
