Legal Question in Family Law in California
Domestic Partnerships
I am in a domestic partnership and am thinking of terminating it. My partner is not really interested in working. I have been more than patient. We decided to bring a child into our relationship(my partner and an unidentified donor.)I want to know what my responsibilities are. Will I have to provide spousal support? Child support? I entered this partnership with someone that was willing to carry her weight,now I have someone that sees my paycheck as sufficient to cover everything. I care dearly for the child,but would I really have to provide support financially to someone that just wants to sit back?

Re: Domestic Partnerships
Domestic partnership dissolutions have created support payment liability for both the partner and the children similar to marital dissolutions. If you would like further assistance please call my office directly.

Re: Domestic Partnerships
In a general sense, you may be liable for the payment of support, depending upon your unique circumstances. It would be helpful to know if you registered your domestic partnership and or when you filed it.
For a specific opinion regarding your individual circumstances, I suggest that you consult with an experienced family law lawyer. Experience is not expensive, it's priceless!
