Pre-Registered Domestic Partnership Agreements

Attorneys in LA

Domestic partners look forward to creating their future together and a good quality of life. Yet, each partner may bring different financial issues to the relationship that need to be addressed. Careful consideration and agreement regarding how to deal with financial affairs and other important issues often avoid future entanglements that can put stress on a relationship.

Drafting a Pre-Registered Domestic Partnership Agreement establishes guidelines and is generally upheld in California courts similar to the way a pre-nuptial agreement establishes guidelines in a marriage. While existing laws that govern domestic partnerships may benefit you in certain ways, a Pre-RDP Agreement affords you the flexibility to tailor parameters and cover issues unique to your relationship. Some of the issues this type of agreement may address include property settlements, division of assets and debts, business valuations, child custody and support, visitation rights and domestic partner support.
