Any couple, married or not, often faces the same issues that married couples face. They may wish to have children, may purchase property together, or may have joint bank accounts. In these situations, it can be very helpful to have a legal agreement worked out regarding custody, the division of assets, and any other pertinent matters that may otherwise lead to a dispute or difficulty in the future.

What is a Domestic Partnership Agreement?

A domestic partnership agreement is similar to a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement, in that it describes particular actions that will be taken in the event of a separation. The specific rights and obligations of both parties may be listed in the agreement, as well as instructions regarding child custody, property division, and similar issues. When these are handled in a legal manner, it can take away much of the confusion or discord that may otherwise occur should the relationship ever come to an end.
