About Domestic Partnerships in Long Island

At the present time, same sex couples living in Long Island cannot legally marry. New York State does not allow same sex marriage, leaving gay and lesbian couples to rely on domestic partnerships to resolve issues about asset protection, property, and children. Domestic partnership is an option not only for same sex couples but for any two adults who wish to enter into a legally binding agreement that specifies what will happen should the committed relationship come to an end.

The process involves registering your relationship before the city clerk to attest your devotion to one another. It also involves creating a comprehensive agreement that outlines your needs and concerns.

If you are in a committed relationship and are considering a domestic partnership, contact a Long Island Domestic Partnership Attorney at our offices today.
