What events cause the dissolution of a partnership?

The dissolution of a partnership occurs whenever there is a change in the members that make up the partnership. Dissolution does not mean going out of business, although, on occasion, dissolution would be accompanied by liquidation of assets and termination of the business. Dissolution would occur whenever a new partner is admitted to the partnership, dissolving one partnership and forming a new one. Dissolution also occurs when a partner leaves the partnership or when a partner dies or retires. The Articles of Partnership may allow the partners to force dissolution under some circumstances.
