Terminating a Domestic Partnership
It is important to consider how to allow for the dissolution of partnerships that is respectful and not a burden to families. A domestic partnership should be considered terminated when one of the domestic partners dies or a Notice of Termination of Domestic Partnership has been filed by one or both domestic partners with the City.
Either partner may file a Notice of Termination. The City will send a confirmation to the address on file. The effective date of the termination is the date received. It is the responsibility of the partner to notify any third party that may have provided a benefit based on the registration with the City’s registry. The City will not provide third party notice or maintain a record of benefits conveyed by third parties.
