This is the same process as a divorce or legal separation. One party is the petitioner, and the other party is the respondent. The petitioner files for dissolution of partnership with a summons and has someone else serve the papers on the respondent.
You can dissolve the marriage and partnership at the same time if you are both married and registered as domestic partners. If your partnership has been registered less than five years, and you have no children or real property, you may be able to file a notice of termination instead, but this is a limited option and would not dissolve a marriage.
Remember, if you are in a same-sex marriage or domestic partnership and are thinking about divorce, you should consider having an experienced attorney-mediator help the two of you work together to come apart. Determining parentage, custody, and visitation can be particularly complex for same-sex couples. You should discuss these challenging issues with a family law mediator who is familiar with and sensitive to the issues that affect your family.
