Can a civil union be revoked?

Yes, a civil union can be revoked in Washington, but the process varies depending on individual circumstances. Generally, civil unions are dissolved by filing a petition for dissolution, which can be done through the court system. Once the court approves the petition, the civil union is dissolved and both parties are no longer legally affiliated with one another. Reconciliation is also a possibility, which means that the civil union is not dissolved and both parties are still legally affiliated. If the two parties wish to reconcile, they must sign a “settlement agreement” and file it with the court. The agreement, if signed and approved by the court, will re-establish the civil union and both parties will be legally obligated to honor the terms set out in the agreement. Ultimately, it is up to the two parties to determine whether to dissolve or reconcile their civil union. If reconciliation does not work out, either party may choose to file for dissolution of the civil union with the court. It is important to note that the court must approve all agreements and petitions for the dissolution of a civil union.
