Domestic Partnership Agreement

Domestic Partnership Agreement.  A Domestic Partnership Agreement is a contract that explains the contractual and legal rights and responsibilities of a couple, most often a same-sex couple, when the couple decides to form a long-term committed relationship.  The Aikin Family Law Group understands how important it is to carefully prepare a Domestic Partnership Agreement that addresses how property will be held, how inheritance will be handled, how children will be cared for, and how income will be shared.  In the event of a dispute, a carefully prepared Domestic Partnership Agreement can help clarify the issues as well as the method utilized for dispute resolution.
