Domestic Partnership Agreements
California's domestic partner law provides a simple registration process to create a domestic partnership. Once registered, domestic partners have the same rights and responsibilities toward one another as married couples. Often, former domestic partners are treated as former spouses under the law and family law and divorce law applies to registered domestic partners. The simple registration process belies the complexities that underlie a legally-binding relationship.
A mediation or collaborative approach can ensure that both parties enter or leave the partnership with a full understanding of the legal benefits and duties involved. In addition since many domestic partners have children together, Ms. Holley, as a skilled family therapist, can help with parenting plans involving some of the unique issues same sex partners encounter. Mr. Blackman assists domestic partners in litigated matters.
