A. A domestic partnership ends when:

1. One of the domestic partners dies; or

2. A notice of termination of domestic partnership has been filed by one or both domestic partners with the City.

B. If one or more of the facts affirmed in the declaration of domestic partnership no longer exists, one or both parties to a domestic partnership shall file a notarized notice of termination of domestic partnership with the City Clerk Department. It shall be the filing partner’s responsibility to provide a copy of the notice of termination to the non-filing party. However, this notice requirement shall not apply if the termination is due to the death of one of the domestic partners.

C. Termination of a domestic partnership shall be effective upon filing of the notice of termination of domestic partnership with the City by one or both partners, or on the date of the death of one of the domestic partners.

D. Following the termination of a domestic partnership, each former domestic partner who has received or has qualified for any benefit or right based upon the existence of a domestic partnership and whose receipt of that benefit or enjoyment of that right has not otherwise terminated, shall give prompt notification that the domestic partnership has terminated within reason to any third party who provides such benefit or right. Failure to give notice could result in repayment of benefits to the third party dating back to the month of termination.

E. Failure to provide notice to third parties as prescribed in this Section shall not delay or prevent the termination of the domestic partnership. (Ord. No. G-5295, § 1, 2008)
