	Domestic partnerships in California - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Domestic partnership is a legal status similar to marriage that has been available to same-sex couples (and certain opposite-sex couples) in California since 2000.
		California domestic partnership was the first registry for same-sex couples in the United States to be created by a legislature not mandated to do so by a court.
		There are no children of the relationship of the parties born before or after registration of the domestic partnership or adopted by the parties after registration of the domestic partnership, and neither of the domestic partners, to their knowledge, is pregnant.

		Domestic sheep are descended from the moufflon (Ovis orientalis) that is found from the mountains of Turkey to southern Iran.
		It has a higher number of chromosomes (58) than domestic sheep (54) which makes it an unlikely ancestor of the latter, but it interbreeds with the moufflon.
		Analysis of mitochondrial DNA indicates that domestic sheep are derived from two different ancestral maternal sources: no evidence for contributions from urial and argali sheep.

		Nevertheless, domestic partnerships are designed to create financial rights between domestic partners at the termination of their relationship that are the equivalent of the financial rights possessed by married persons upon the dissolution of marriage.
		Because recognition of a domestic partnership is always undertaken in the context of determining financial claims by one partner against the other, including both equitable property division and compensation issues, it could be that the strong public policy exception will less often be applied to prevent such claims.
		Because domestic partnerships, unlike marriages, become relevant only when the partners dissolve their relationship, it is conceivable that courts will apply the law of the state of the most significant relationship to the partners at the time of the dissolution, rather than that of some state where the partners formerly resided.

	FindLaw's Writ - Grossman: The New Jersey Domestic Partnership Law
		Domestic partners also do not automatically acquire rights or obligations with respect to any children, which is different from the treatment of married couples.
		Hawaii's law is notably broad in one particular respect: it permits two individuals who cannot marry--like grandmother and grandchild--to enter into a reciprocal beneficiary relationship.
		Domestic partnerships are available on the same terms as in New Jersey--to same-sex couples or opposite-sex couples over 62 in a relationship of mutual caring.

	The National Journal of Sexual Orientation Law (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Recognition of domestic partnerships contributes to stability in domestic relations by encouraging gay couples who are not able to marry and heterosexual couples who are not married to enter into a marriage-like relationship and form family units with established rights and responsibilities.
		The existence of a domestic partnership between two people and/or a specific agreement to be responsible for the basic living expenses of each other may create not only an express contract but may also be the basis for asserting other equitable claims by one of the partners (for example, an implied contract claim).
		Where a domestic partnership terminates as the result of the voluntary act of one of the parties, the chief legal concern would seem to be the giving of notice to affected parties.

		Hawaii is a special case because it's the first time domestic partnership is actually available as the compromise position.
		In fact, one reason the Hawaii trial was set for July 1996 is that Gov. Ben Cayetano appointed a commission to study the legal viability of domestic partnership.
		Domestic partnership is not the kind of "compromise" that don't-ask-don't-tell is. It provides concrete benefits (about five dozen of them in Hawaii) to committed couples who are entitled to them, and it sidesteps a host of extremely difficult problems.

		The term "domestic partnership" refers to a non-marital legal arrangement in which two individuals are treated as one legal unit for certain purposes.
		In several European countries and in Vermont, domestic partners, after registering their relationship with the state and affirming their enduring commitment to each other, are treated in a manner identical with or similar to the treatment of married opposite-sex couples.
		Another problem with domestic partnerships is that the requirement for joint financial responsibility can leave a partner liable for the other partner's finances without an equitable distribution of joint finances or child custody.

		Hawaii has a fairly typical tax structure, in general, but the legal structure under which businesses must operate is uniquely different from other states, with most of the tax and administrative functions that are typically handled at the local level in other states being centralized at the state level.
		Hawaii was the last state, in 1996, to adopt a limited liability company (LLC) law, so that businesses operating in Hawaii in LLC form may now (since April, 1997) obtain the advantages of limited liability, without needing to incorporate or become subject to corporate taxation, generally.
		Hawaii's tax system is relatively similar to that found in most other states, despite its being named a "tax hell" in a major financial magazine survey several years ago.

		Domestic partner benefits owes its existence to the fact that America is the only industrialized nation in the the world that doers not have universal health care, and the fact that same-sex couples have been forbidden legal marriage.
		Since the very first domestic partner benefits were offered by Berkely, California, in 1984, the radical right has been very busy with lawsuits in the public sector — and with boycotts in the private sector — in order to destroy any benefits for same-sex couples and their children.

	The Cardinal Collective: North American Marriages
		However, Louisiana, Georgia, and Ohio apparently have legal challenges to their newly-approved constitutional amendments, since such amendments are only supposed to have a single effect, and these prevent recognition of certain marriages and also ban civil unions.
		Vermont and Hawaii suffered from being the sites of the first two successful court cases on the continent, so they chose to enact laws banning same-sex marriage while granting the privileges to same-sex couples.
		Hawaii, Vermont, and then Massachusetts were forced by courts to grant greater and greater rights to same-sex couples, while California and then New Jersey legislatively approved successively larger packages, so perhaps some state is ready to take the biggest step directly.
