Program Summary
Following the Supreme Court’s ruling, same-sex marriages are now recognized across the country. For many this transition means a host of questions about the status of domestic partnerships, civil unions, co-parenting agreements, and separations. Mistakes can have serious financial, relational, and legal consequences for clients, and incomplete or incorrect information is everywhere.
