Expansion of Domestic Partnership Rights in Washington?
It looks like a second expansion of Washington state's domestic partnership law is set to sail through the legislature. At our gay-owned law firm in Seattle, we have spent years representing same-sex couples, regardless of whether they have registered with the state or not.
Every time a new law is passed expanding rights, however, it is vitally important that registered couples, and unregistered couples that are thinking about registering, understand what these expansions mean.
The intent of the law is to provide most, if not all, of the incidents of marriage at the state-level. And just like marriage, there may be a LOT of surprises for couples that don't know just what they are signing up for.
More on these topics later as I take a closer look at the bill. Talk to your favorite attorney today if you are curious about just how these changes may effect you.
