[edit] Domestic Partnerships between Opposite Sexes in Maine
My boyfriend and I live in New Jersey. I am a female 47 years old and he is male 53 years old. We are both divorced and have been living together for 6 years now. We would like to know if we can apply for domestic partnership in Maine. I appreciate your prompt response.
Thanks, Marissa
[edit] Needs work - not generic enough
The article appears to skew towards legal issues surrounding same-sex relationships. It'd be much better if it was more generic then address the complications with same-sex recognition since there's already an article about same sex marriage/unions. At the moment, domestic partnerships, civil unions and same sex marriage all read exactly the same. - Htra0497 12:54, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Domestic Partnerships in Boston, Massachusetts
There are Domestic Partnerships recognized in Boston, Massachusetts. This is provided through municipal ordinance: City of Boston Municipal Code Chapter XII § 9a Protection of Families.[1] [2]
Should this be mentioned in the article? mdkarazim (talk) 19:50, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- I haven't heard any feedback, so I went ahead with changing the article to show that there are also Domestic Partnerships available in certain Massachusetts municipalities in addition to the marriages already available state-wide. I included the cities of Cambridge and Boston with appropriate citations. I believe there are other municipalities that also have these ordinances, but because I am not aware of them, I did not add them. Please feel free to add additional municipalities.
