If you want to marry your existing domestic partner, then you may do so. If you are a same-sex couple, however, you will have to marry in a state that permits same-sex marriage.

If your existing domestic partnership ("DP") is a state-registered comprehensive domestic partnership, then you cannot marry in a state that offers state-registered comprehensive DPs. You also cannot marry in a state that permits same-sex marriage, since these recognize your DP as an existing marriage.

If your existing DP was state-registered in Wisconsin, then it does not prevent you from marrying in another state. If you are a same-sex couple, however, you will have to marry in a state that permits same-sex marriage.

If your existing DP is a municipal- or county-registered DP, then it does not prevent you from marrying someone else. If you are a same-sex couple, however, you will have to marry in a state that permits same-sex marriage.

How do general partnerships limited partnership and limited liability partnership differ?

All of the partners in a general partnership are fully liable for all debts and obligations of the partnership. In a limited partnership, there is always one or more general partners and one or more limited partners. The general partner(s) in a limited partnership, like the partners in a general partnership, are fully liable for all debts and obligations of the partnership. The limited partners, on the other hand, are not liable for any debts or obligations of the partnership beyond the amount that they have contributed or committed to contribute to the partnership. In other words, limited partners can lose their entire investment in the partnership but a creditor of the partnership cannot go after the other assets of the limited partners. A limited liability partnership (LLP) is created by state statute, as is the limited partnership, but compared to the limited partnership statutes, there is much more variation in LLPs from state to state. That makes any general description potentially wrong, based on the law of the specific state in which the LLP is operating. Generally, all or some of the partners in an LLP have some degree of limited liability protection. The partners usually have to be members of a licensed profession such as CPAs, attorneys or engineers.

Generally, domestic partnership is not a bar to marriage, even if it is with someone else. However, if your domestic partnership is with a statewide registry and is substantially equivalent to marriage, then some states may recognize your domestic partnership as a marriage. If that is the case, then you must dissolve your domestic partnership before you can marry another person.

Can you form a domestic partnership with a long term partner who is still legally married to someone else?

Yes. Domestic partnership does not bar you from marrying someone else. When a person marries, they no longer meet the eligibility criteria for domestic partnership and any existing domestic partnership is automatically terminated. However, it is a good idea to dissolve any existing domestic partnership prior to marrying, if possible. Also, state-registered domestic partnerships in California, Oregon and Nevada are considered substantially equal to marriage by New York state. If your domestic partnership is registered with one of those states (not a local government within the state), then you must dissolve the domestic partnership before marrying in New York.


Is it breaking the law if you get domestic partnership while legally married to someone else?

You may be violating the law since you would need to commit perjury on your application for domestic partnership. When two people submit an application for domestic partnership (as with an application for a marriage license) each must swear that neither person is married to someone else or is a member of another domestic partnership with someone else that has not been terminated, dissolved, or adjudged a nullity. If you lie about your status on the application, any subsequent legal relationship you sought to create would be invalid.
