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.
