DuPage County Lawyers Help Couples Living Together/h2>
In today's society, many couples are in committed relationships and choose not to get married. While marriage provides spouses with certain rights and protections, couples who do not get legally married may not have these rights, regardless of how long they have been in a relationship. However, there are steps unmarried couples can take to ensure that they can receive some of the same rights and benefits as married couples. Schedule a consultation at any of our area offices to discuss your situation.
The DuPage County domestic partnership lawyers at Andrew Cores Family Law Group strive to stay abreast of any and all changes to family law in Illinois. Our attorneys have guided our clients through both cohabitation agreements and separation agreements. Trust our firm to carefully examine your unique situation and offer honest advice about the protections available to you.
Cohabitation Agreement Lawyers in Wheaton
In 2011, Illinois officially recognized civil unions and domestic partnerships. While this status originally was meant to provide same-sex partners with many of the same rights as married couples, opposite-sex couples may also enter into civil unions. Since same-sex marriage was legalized across the United States in 2015, fewer couples may choose to enter into civil unions. However, this option is still available, and couples who choose to remain unmarried may use civil unions in order to put both parties' names on legal documents, including mortgages, titles, wills, and powers of attorney. Our firm is experienced in helping clients complete these tasks, and we can also assist with:
- Drafting cohabitation agreements
- Drafting separation agreements
- Resolving child custody issues for unmarried parents
When a relationship ends, there might be questions about how property or assets gained during the domestic partnership will be divided. Our firm can draft a separation agreement that clearly stipulates how property division and debt division will be handled. We can help couples understand the best ways to resolve issues related to a breakup, and we can answer any questions you might have through a confidential consultation.
