Durham-Chapel Hill-Raleigh Board Certified Domestic Partnership Lawyer
Serving the Triangle Area
If you are an unmarried couple, either heterosexual or gay and lesbian, North Carolina's equitable distribution laws do not apply to you. However, there are contractual ways to provide unmarried couples the same property rights that married couples have.
Led by one of only five practicing attorneys in Durham County to be Board Certified by the North Carolina Board of Legal Specialization as a family law specialist, Ellis Family Law is fully qualified to help all types of families protect their financial interests.
Without a domestic partnership or cohabitation agreement, the supporting partner has no obligation to support a dependent partner if the relationship breaks up.
Did You Know?
- North Carolina has a law barring unmarried couples from living together, but that law is no longer enforced.
