California Same Sex Domestic Advocacy Lawyers

Experienced Domestic Partnership Attorneys

At Claery & Green, we provide legal representation to same sex couples throughout California. Unlike traditional married couples, gay and lesbian couples are required to take legal action to enjoy the full rights and protections of California law. California does not recognize common law marriage, so if you live with your same sex partner you must take legal action to receive full protection under the law. Taking these steps may also benefit your relationship with your same sex partner by clearly spelling out your commitment to each other.

An experienced lawyer from our firm can help you and your partner with a number of legal issues. If you experienced complications during your registration of domestic partnership, you need to take legal action to make sure you receive full protection under the law. Likewise, if you are looking to file for termination of domestic partnership or dissolution of domestic partnership, an attorney from our firm can assist you in taking the necessary actions to legally terminate your relationship so that you can move forward with your life. It is important that you don't confuse a dissolution or termination of a domestic partnership with a nullity. Nullity of domestic partnership declares the domestic partnership void from the very beginning and can be a viable option for getting out of your domestic relationship.

The legal separation of domestic partners can be a complex situation, especially when children and shared assets or property are involved. An attorney from our firm can help you determine custody & visitation rights and help you file for marvin actions so that you can receive financial support in the form of palimony from the other person.

If you and your domestic partner want to start planning for the future of your estate, you need professional legal guidance. Our attorneys are skilled at providing practical and effective solutions when estate planning for domestic partners. We can also assist you with issues concerning cohabitation agreements, domestic partner adoption or same sex domestic violence,and provide you with caring legal representation that is specific to your situation.

Representing Gay and Lesbian Couples throughout California

Our family lawyers have experience handling a variety of legal issues faced specifically by gay and lesbian couples, including domestic partnership, and will work hard to get you and your partner the results you seek. Domestic partner registration is a fairly recent development which allows for same sex couples to enjoy many of the same benefits as married couples. Due to the fact that same sex marriages are not recognized by most states within the U.S., including California, there is no method by which to measure the relationship between gay and lesbian couples or the families they create. Domestic partnership is a way for a same sex couple to declare their relationship with the purpose of obtaining certain benefits that heterosexual couples enjoy.

Gay, Lesbian, and transgender advocacy is something our attorneys feel very strongly about, and a lawyer from our firm will handle your case in a sensitive and effective manner to achieve optimal results for your specific situation. With a skilled domestic partnership attorney representing you, you will have exceptional legal guidance and support until the matter is resolved.
