North Carolina Domestic Partnerships
A domestic partnership is a term used to describe a committed romantic relationship between two people who cohabitate. These relationships are also known as “civil unions” and are legally recognized by some states. In states where domestic partnerships are recognized, couples are entitled to many of the same benefits as those who are married. Although these unions were especially significant for same-sex couples until 2015, they are still not legally recognized in many states. Despite the state of North Carolina’s lack of recognition of domestic partnerships, there are still measures that can be taken to provide protection. Domestic Partnerships are recognized in Durham, Orange, Mecklenburg, and Buncombe County.
Domestic Partnerships are more limited than marriage
Although domestic partnerships do not provide identical benefits as marriage, they act as a means of registration that enables some institutions like hospitals, businesses, and other organizations to acknowledge the relationship. The cities and counties in North Carolina that do offer domestic partnership recognitions provide couples an alternative to marriage that is, at least, partially recognized by the law.

What should I do if I want a divorce?
If you’re ever considering getting a divorce, you should speak to somebody about it. Reach out to your biggest supporters and keep them close. When you’re ready, get in touch with one of our experienced divorce attorneys to discuss all of the SMART strategies available to you.
My spouse filed for divorce — what should I do?
We understand this can be a pretty stressful situation. In North Carolina, spouses are required to live in separate homes for at least a year before becoming eligible for divorce. The time apart allows couples time to work on things and better scope out a future without their partner. You can take this process slow and make sure that you both make the best decisions for the family. Regardless of what stage of divorce you find yourself in, you should reach out to a divorce attorney who can give you sound advice (with your best interests in mind.)
