Domestic Partnership Dissolutions And Disputes

While same-sex marriage is now legal in all 50 states, many people in California choose to form domestic partnerships, and many are bound to partnerships formed in the past. Once a domestic partnership has been formed and registered with the California secretary of state, the members of that domestic partnership have the same rights, protections and benefits of marriage under state law.

Domestic partners who wish to dissolve their domestic partnership generally must file petition for dissolution proceedings in the appropriate family court, potentially giving rise to issues of child custody, child visitation, child and partner support, and division of property and allocation of debts, among others.

Even if a same-sex couple has not formed a domestic partnership, circumstances may arise in which legal proceedings may be needed to address claims regarding property and debts, in addition to requests for rehabilitative support, among others.
