How do I end my partnership?
The person who "divorces" is charged L$25.
- Go to the Partners page.
- Check the box that says "I, (your name), would like to dissolve my partnership with (your partner's name)."

Can I be partnered again after you divorce?
We understand matters of the heart are impetuous for various reasons. Inform your partner you didn't mean to divorce them — apologizing profusely and sending a gift often help — and send them a fresh partnership request.
All the best in your new beginning.
Does being partnered give us a special status?
No. Partnership is for vanity purposes and doesn't alter inworld permissions, group abilities, and soforth.
Does my Second Life surname change if I partner?
No. Your name stays the same.
Can I find out when I was partnered?
The display in-Viewer doesn't show you this. However, if you kept your original partnership request, sent via email, then yes, you can relive that moment.
