California Domestic Partnership Laws
San Jose Same Sex Marriage Law Attorney

California allows committed same sex couples to register as domestic partners and receive all of the same legal rights and responsibilities married couples enjoy. Opposite sex couples in which one or both members are older than 62 may also register as domestic partners.

Being a registered domestic partner isn't the same as marriage, but it does give a committed couple's relationship legal standing. For example, if one partner dies, the other receives all the benefits traditionally assigned to a widow or widower. Domestic partners have the right to health insurance coverage under a partner's policy.

Just as marriages can end in divorce, relationships between domestic partners can also be legally terminated. For a free consultation about California same sex marriage laws or how to terminate your domestic partnership, please contact a domestic partnership law attorney at Hoover & Bechtel, L.L.P.

Our experienced family law attorneys will provide sound legal advice regarding termination of your registered domestic partnership, child custody, child support, visitation, and division of property.
