Domestic Partnerships

Before late 2009, a couple had to be legally married in order to obtain rights over one another. Now, you and another person can apply for a domestic partnership, which will provide you with the safety net once reserved only for those officially wed. If you are approved for a domestic partnership you become protected under the law just as if you were married. If you are awarded a domestic partnership than you are able to make important legal, financial and medical decisions that would otherwise be out of your hands.  It will guarantee you are able to see your loved one if he or she is in the hospital. Rules at each hospital vary but without the same last name, you can be kept from your loved one’s hospital room regardless of what you both want. Eagle Law Offices, P.S., will assist you in getting the Seattle Domestic Partnership you need through the State of Washington so that you need never face situations such as this.

Perhaps you have already formed a domestic partnership, only to realize you want that legal bond to dissolve. There is the option to end a domestic partnership. Just like with a marriage, support payments and other financial tolls can apply to legal partnerships.

It does not matter if you are the same or the opposite sex of the person you wish to file as your domestic partner. The law does not discriminate on this matter.
