San Diego Domestic Partnership Attorney
Lawyer for Domestic Partnership Cases in San Diego, CA
Despite the fact that California still doesn’t recognize same-sex marriages, our state does offer couples the opportunity to register as domestic partners. These partnerships can offer couples many of the same rights and responsibilities associated with a traditional marriage, including:
• Hospital visitation rights
• Abilities to make medical, legal and financial choices for your partner
• Disability benefits (state only)
• Adoption privileges
• Inheritance and other death benefits
• State employment benefits
• Insurance benefits
• And more...
In order to make your relationship an official domestic partnership, you must register it with the state. To register, you must meet a number of requirements including:
• Both partners must be unmarried and be over 18 years of age.
• The partners must share a residence and not be related by blood.
• The partners must be same-sex or both must be over the age of 62.
A San Diego domestic partnership attorney can help you evaluate your qualifications to file for a domestic partnership and can help you file the paperwork to register your relationship. Additionally, if things end up going South, a San Diego domestic partnership attorney will be necessary to help you in your partnership dissolution.
