Do Domestic Partners Have Legal Rights? Of Course They Do

Not every couple gets married. While New York law allows same-sex couples to get married, it does not necessarily mean that every gay couple will decide to say "I do." And an increasing number of heterosexual couples are delaying marriage, happy to live to together outside of wedlock. For domestic partners who opt not to exchange vows, there are still methods for them to obtain the same types of rights offered through marriage.

With more than 20 years of combined experience on our side, the law firm of Colwell, Colwell & Petroccione LLP understands those methods. We know the steps to take to design domestic partnership agreements. We know what to do when domestic partnerships come to an end.

Designing Domestic Partnership Agreements

Couples entering into a domestic partnership may have a wide range of legal issues that need to be addressed. These issues can range from how to share title to the couple's house to estate planning.

You have many options available under the law, although it takes an experienced lawyer to fully assess them. We will explain how they can work for you.

Ending Domestic Partnerships

Even if a relationship hasn't been formalized by marriage, it still involves two lives being intertwined. When that relationship ends, untangling those lives can become complicated.

Our lawyers can help domestic partners separate and move on. From property division to child custody and visitation arrangements, we can help you achieve your objectives.

Like marriages, no two domestic partnerships are exactly the same. You have the right to customized service that is built around your needs. That is the level of service we provide.
