The state of Vermont has joined a number of European countries in fashioning a system for gay couples which attempts to duplicate marriage. Vermont's system is called civil unions , in France it's PACS, it's registered partnerships in Scandinavia. Based on the information we have, Vermont's civil union law has the most severe dissolution requirement in that the couples are required to engage in a formal divorce style proceeding in court in order to dissolve the civil union.
Marriage is presently available only to one man and one woman.
A relationship which would be a legal entity that could buy property, provide health insurance to its members, obtain credit cards, serve as the couple's consulting company, lease a car, file a tax return as a partnership and in general, engage in any legitimate business. Delaware Law also permits one person to create a LLC, i.e., single member LLCs. Posse LLC is the mark we created to refer to social and professional associations formalized under LLC law. Limited Liability Companies are not taxed when classified as a partnership, rather the members pay tax, at the personal income rate, on the money which they receive from the limited liability company. LLCs are recognized by all fifty states, the federal government and internationally.
