I need advice. What should i do my civil partner want to annul our civil partnership and i dont want it?

Filing for Divorce

Depends on what you mean by "contact". You cannot get a divorce from someone without giving notice. Notice is usually done by serving a copy of the divorce complaint on the other person. Your lawyer arranges for service.

If you are trying to get a divorce without the other side knowing - the answer to that is no. If you did, it would not be valid and the other party can challenge the divorce.

Can you get a divorce if you don't know where the other person is? Yes, but you still have to give notice. Your lawyer will make arrangements to have notice published in a newspaper in the last place where your soon to be ex spouse lives.

Due process applies even to divorces. Everyone has a right to know about legal actions being brought against them.

Here is more advice:

  • You can always file a divorce petition without contacting your spouse if you live in different towns. After filing your divorce petition in competent court of jurisdiction, court will issue notice to other party to appear in person or with the help of some lawyer.

  • Yes, you can file for divorce without contacting him. He will then be served with papers. Talk to whoever you file the papers with or your lawyer and find out if your address will be on the papers. If you don't want to contact him, I assume you don't want him to contact you either. If this is so, you may be able to have your address removed from the papers. Or maybe you'll be able to use a mailing address. Hope this helps to answer your question.
