A Legal Guide for Lesbian &
Gay Couples - With CD-ROM
By Attorneys Hayden Curry, Denis Clifford & Fredrick Hertz,
Nolo Press
Description:
Protect your rights -- protect your relationship.
Now more than ever, it's important that you take the proper
legal steps to define and protect your relationship in the eyes
of the law. If you don't, you run the risk of being shut out
of each other's lives -- and the lives of children you co-parent
-- in times of medical, financial or personal crisis.
This practical, plain-English guide shows lesbian and gay
couples how to:
- make practical decisions about living together
- obtain domestic partner benefits
- make medical decisions for each other when needed
- take care of each other's finances when one partner
is incapacitated
- leave property to each other
- have and raise children through adoption, donor insemination,
surrogacy or foster parenting
