By Ed Sherman and Susan Cameron

California Relationship Law offers strategies and advice to couples getting into or out of marriage, domestic partnerships, and living-together arrangements. Building on its predecessor, California Marriage Law, with new material to reflect the domestic partnership law AB 205 that goes into effect January 1, 2005, the book shows readers how to gain greater control over their income, debts, property rights, support obligations, childcare and parenting arrangements, adoption, inheritance, medical permissions, care upon disability, and wishes after death, and comes with a CDROM of legal agreements and other helpful resources.

Customer Reviews

Excellent, useful reference guide

This new (Feb. 2005) edition of this book is highly useful for couples who plan on living together but not getting formally married. The design is attractive, useful features (such as a checklist) are included, and religious covenants are included as is domestic partner registration bankruptcy, children, and many other topics that couples need to consider. Highly recommended!
