Domestic Partnerships
A domestic partnership is a legal relationship between two people who live together and share a domestic life but are not married. It often provides certain rights and responsibilities similar to those of married couples, such as healthcare decision-making, shared property rights, or access to benefits. Domestic partnerships aim to recognize and protect committed relationships outside of marriage, offering legal clarity and support for partners who choose to formalize their relationship without tying the knot. The specifics vary by jurisdiction, so rights and requirements can differ depending on where you live.
