When Domestic Partners Separate.

It happens sometimes in the best of relationships.  When domestic partners grow apart they go their separate ways.  It does not matter if the partners are heterosexual or same-sex.  There are considerable legal, financial, property and parental protections that are offered when a couple chooses domestic partnership instead of marriage.

You should know what responsibilities you accept when entering into this relationship-

1.  You share the property and the assets therein
2.  It takes a court action to break up your partnership
3.  You are obligated to provide for your partner
4.  If there is a child or children, you must assume some of the parental responsibilities

Knowing what to do in light of a domestic partnership breakup is tantamount to your future happiness and peace of mind.  That is why you should contact Nat Kidder and Bill Bennett family attorneys serving St. Petersburg and all of Pinellas County.  Please call for a consultation about your specific situation at (727) 821-8000.
