Is the dissolution process the same for registered domestic partners?
Yes, for the most part, as long as your domestic partnership has been registered with the State of California. You should be aware that federal law does not recognize registered domestic partnerships, which means that federal tax law does not apply to domestic partners and married couples in the same way. If partner support is an issue or you own property, you may also want to consult a tax specialist. Contact Family Law Center for more information on the dissolution process for registered domestic partners.
