7 Recognition of a dissolution of a deemed civil partnership

(1) If— (a) a final order is made in relation to the deemed civil partnership; and (b) the validity of that order is recognised throughout the United Kingdom, that order has, throughout the United Kingdom, the same effect in relation to the Scottish marriage that it has in relation to the deemed civil partnership. (2) If— (a) a separation order is made in relation to the relevant couple as parties to the deemed civil partnership; and (b) the validity of that order is recognised throughout the United Kingdom, that order has, throughout the United Kingdom, the same effect in relation to the couple as parties to the Scottish marriage that it has in relation to them as parties to the deemed civil partnership (and has effect in relation to any other persons accordingly). (3) In this article— “deemed civil partnership” means the civil partnership which the actual marriage is treated as being by virtue of article 6; “final order” means— the dissolution or annulment of a civil partnership obtained from a court of civil jurisdiction in Northern Ireland; an overseas dissolution or annulment; “relevant couple” means the same sex couple who are parties to the actual marriage; and “separation order” means— a legal separation of the parties to a civil partnership obtained from a court of civil jurisdiction in Northern Ireland; an overseas legal separation of the parties to a civil partnership.

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

How this law is officially changed

Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
