Legal Question in Family Law in Kentucky

I'll start by saying I don't know. It's unique because this is a heterosexual couple utilizing the legalization of the domestic partnership option given to same-sex couples in other states. It comes down to a question of whether that is actually a marriage, or at least should be recognized as a marriage by another state. My thought is that it needs to be dissolved, because the partnership is in essence a marriage by another name. However, since I don't know if there are any legal differences in Oregon between marriage and partnership, I can't even give an informed opinion. This is one that would take some research to find out, and not one you want to get wrong. I would suggest contacting a family law attorney in Kentucky who will research this question for you, although you will likely pay for the consultation. You are welcome to contact me for a recommendation.
