Description

"Gay and lesbian couples have gained a lot of legal ground in recent years, but navigating the new laws isn't simple. Laws governing same-sex marriages, civil unions and domestic partnerships vary from state to state--and often conflict with federal laws."--Back cover.

Description

Laws affecting LGBT couples are changing rapidly, and while it's an exciting time for all gay and lesbian partners, keeping up with the myriad ways the shifting legal landscape touches your family life can be daunting. Now more than ever, it's important that you take the proper legal steps to define and protect your relationship in the eyes of the law. If you don't, you run the risk of being shut out of each other's lives and the lives of children you co-parent in times of medical, financial or personal crisis. Fortunately, this practical guide is updated with the latest legal information and legislation that will help you and your same sex partner protect and exercise your rights, and make sound decisions as a couple.
