In Western cultures you cannot force a person to stay married to you or to stay in a civil partnership. Your only option is to convince your partner to attend counseling in order to determine the reasons for their desire to leave and determine if the relationship can be saved. Otherwise, your partner is free to go.

The procedure depends on the laws of the state where you want to dissolve the union. If your jurisdiction recognizes civil unions or domestic partnerships then it will have dissolution laws, too. If you were registered in one state and moved to another you will need to check the laws of the state where you are presently domiciled. Keep in mind that state laws regarding civil unions differ and they have different procedures for dissolution. For same sex legally recognized relationships you must check the laws in your jurisdiction.

Some states do not recognize same-sex unions, and therefore will not grant legal dissolutions to such unions.
