Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What’s the difference between marriage and a civil union?

A marriage is a legal union that provides certain rights and responsibilities under state and federal law. A civil union, while providing similar benefits at the state level, may not offer the same recognition under federal law or in other states. Our attorneys can clarify which option best suits your situation.

Q2: Can a prenuptial agreement be created for a civil union?

Yes. Civil union partners can also create prenuptial agreements to address asset division, financial matters, and other legal considerations in the event of separation.

Q3: What happens if we dissolve a civil union?

If you choose to dissolve your civil union, we can assist with the legal process, including the division of property, financial support, and other legal obligations.
