Domestic partnership

A domestic partnership is when two people who live together become a kind of family. They can be any two people, like friends, family members, or people who love each other. They don't have to be married to become a domestic partnership. They just have to agree on certain things, like sharing responsibility for each other's wellbeing, caring for each other, and looking after each other's finances. When two people are in a domestic partnership, they are legally recognized as a family unit. This means they may be eligible for certain rights and benefits that married couples receive.
