If you have been in a committed relationship with someone and have lived together for an extended period of time and registered with the Secretary of State, then you fall under the category of a domestic partnership.

Handling Your Legal Needs
Domestic partners who terminate their partnership often face legal issues similar to those present in a dissolution of marriage case. However, there are certain issues that are unique to domestic partnerships since federal law does not recognize domestic partnerships.
If you and your partner had children, this can become exceedingly more complex if either party decides to leave the state. To protect your well-being, you should discuss your situation with one of our family law attorneys so that they can create a strategy to best protect your interest.
