Attorney Carrington (Rusty) Madison Mead will take the time to explain how your same-sex relationship can gain legal recognition, as well as answer any questions that you may have as a couple. She will then help you define your relationship on paper and declare what each partner is responsible for in the relationship.

Your domestic partnership agreement can cover a variety of issues between you and your partner, including:

• Debt instructions: to show how you and your partner would like to manage your debts
• Property division: including dissolution agreements and/or schedules that outline what property is jointly and separately owned
• Estate planning: a comprehensive estate plan will address how you want your property distributed to your partner, appoint your partner as guardian of any children, and grant your partner the authority to make medical and financial decisions on your behalf in the event of your incapacity
• Mandatory mediation: this will help you and your partner avoid the time and expense of court in the event you decide to dissolve your relationship
