Domestic partner registration and marriage both involve a host of rights and responsibilities, and it’s critical that you be informed about the consequences before making the decision to marry or register. Emily can provide that information and help you make decisions about what will best serve your family’s needs.

Consultation

If you’re unsure about whether you want to marry or register, Emily can meet with one or both partners to discuss your particular situation, provide you with resources, and help you come to a decision.

Before marrying or registering, some couples agree to establish terms for their relationship that differ from those that the law imposes. They set out these terms in a prenuptial or pre-registration agreement.

Preparation of Preregistration Agreement

Emily can work with one partner in a couple to prepare or review a prenuptial or pre-registration agreement, or with both partners together to draft an agreement that will then be reviewed by each partner’s separate attorney.

Fees for Domestic Partnership Services: $375 per hour; pre-registration agreements may be mixed flat/hourly depending on circumstances
