Re: Dissolution of Domestic Partnership
Sec. 32-702 of the D.C. Code governs the registration and termination of domestic partnerships. A request to terminate such a partnership must be filed with the mayor with a copy properly served upon the other partner unless the latter has also signed the request for termination.
This provision also states that benefits will continue to be paid for six months from the date of termination.
