Domestic Partnerships, Civil Unions, Common-Law Marriages

Are you in a domestic partnership, civil union, or common law marriage?

Domestic partnerships can be considered a non-marriage civil union in some jurisdictions. The rights for legal domestic partnerships vary by state. Individuals may still consider their significant other a “domestic partner” while living together without the paperwork! On the other hand, Civil Unions are a way to provide recognition of a relationship by law. These are used in places that may not utilize domestic partnerships.

Common-law marriages are only legally recognized by a handful of states in the US but are mostly defined by cohabitation of partners. This type of marriage can allow for some legal rights for non-married couples.
