description: Domestic partnership under the new California law will require gay and lesbian couples to come out to claim their new rights. At the same time, the business and professional people who serve them must be aware that domestic partners are now entitled to all the rights of married couples. This highly readable and informative book takes a look at the history of marriage, the evolving rights of domestic partners and the social and practical implications of exercising one's rights under new laws that took effect January 1, 2005. The book also provides a basic understanding of California property and custody laws, probate and inheritance, criminal laws, and employment issues for registered domestic partners.
