Re: domestic partners
You might be able to make a claim in equity, but don't expect the coop management to be cooperative.
Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can e-mail me for more information about low cost face-to-face, on-line, or a telephone consultation with a lawyer in our office.
Re: domestic partners
In a recent case, one judge granted domestic partners the right of equitable distribution.
There may be other theories of recovery available to you.
