Sarasota Domestic Partnership Lawyers
Unmarried couples and domestic partners in the state of Florida who wish to come to agreements on matters such as child custody, property issues, estate planning and the division of assets are not as well-protected under the law as are married couples. Given that same-sex marriage is not recognized in Florida, it is important for these couples to seek other financial and legal arrangements to protect their rights.
In some cases, these arrangements are civil contracts taken between two individuals that provide for remedies in the event of a split or break-up. At the law firm of Kallins | Little, in Palmetto, our attorneys can help you and your partner create a legal agreement to help you safeguard the future and feel confident about the legal options that are available to you.
Contact our firm for more information regarding domestic partnerships at 888-884-7358.
