Establishing a domestic partnership

A domestic partnership establishes many of the same legal rights and responsibilities as a marriage. Our firm can help you make decisions that will positively impact your interests and the interests of your family. As a domestic partner, you will be able to share a bank account with your partner and hold common property. You will be entitled to certain benefits when your partner is injured or if he or she dies. You will also have insurance rights as a domestic partner. Our firm's lawyers can explain other details about your rights as a domestic partner.

Dissolving a domestic partnership

Magnuson Lowell, P.S., also assists clients in the dissolution of a domestic partnership. When a domestic relationship ends, partners will have to address issues relating to property division/equitable distribution, child custody, and child support. Our firm's attorneys will go over the details of your case to ensure that all of your personal and financial interests are protected when your domestic partnership is ending.
