| "My registered domestic partner and I are experiencing serious, and I'm afraid, irreconcilable differences in our relationship. I've been told that to terminate our partnership, we need to go through something like a divorce. How would that work?"
For most registered domestic partnerships, the Family Court has exclusive jurisdiction over proceedings relating to the dissolution of the partnership. The procedures are equivalent to those involving married persons. Thus, all rights and obligations that attach in marital status proceedings will apply to domestic partnership status proceedings, including equal division of community property, debt liability, spousal support, standard temporary restraining orders (the so-called ‘ATROs’), child custody and support determination, and temporary orders for spousal and child support, attorney fees and costs, and other litigation costs. Howard S. Klein, a Certified Specialist in Estate Planning, Trust and Probate Law since 1993, heads the Probate Department of Feinberg, Mindel, Brandt, Klein and Kline in Los Angeles. The lawyer can be reached at (310) 447-8675. View his firm's Divorce Magazine profile. |
