If you want to terminate or end a domestic partnership, you have two options:
Before you get started in person
Please print out and complete a domestic partnership termination form.
The fee to file a termination form is $12. We take cash, a debit card, or a check or money order made payable to the City of Boston.
If you’re the one giving the form to the City Clerk, you need to tell your former partner — in person or by certified mail — that you are ending the partnership.
