A. The parties to a civil union may amend the terms of their particular agreements, designations, and nominations, in whole or in part, in the same manner as such agreements, designations, and nominations may be modified under applicable law. Should they desire, the parties to a civil union may file an amendment to the statement or list describing additional and/or amended documents by paying the fee outlined in Section 8-5-4(D).

B. A civil union shall terminate upon the occurrence of any one (1) of the following:

1. The death of one (1) of the partners;

2. A request by one (1) or both parties for the Town Clerk to terminate the registration of the civil union. In such a case, the party(ies) must submit a signed and notarized statement to the Town Clerk. The statement must declare that the civil union is terminated and, if the termination statement has not been signed by both parties to the civil union, that the other person has been notified in writing of such termination at the last known address of such person. Upon the receipt of such a signed and notarized request, the Town Clerk will terminate the registration of such civil union. Any such termination of registration shall not alter any remaining contractual obligations or legal designations that have been made by the respective parties or the ability of either party to enforce any contractual rights that may continue to be enforceable under applicable law.

3. The marriage, expressly recognized by the State of Arizona, of either one (1) of the civil union partners.

C. A registered Clarkdale civil union shall not prevent the parties to that status from entering into any other type of legal status between those two (2) parties in another jurisdiction, including a marriage where the laws of such other jurisdiction permit them to enter that status. For any two (2) parties who are married or in a civil union or domestic partnership under the laws of another jurisdiction, a Clarkdale civil union may provide a means of effectuating portions of that relationship under the laws applicable within the Town of Clarkdale to the extent set forth herein.
