My partner and I are in a domestic partnership, but we’re thinking about marriage down the line. Is it possible to get legally married after already being in a domestic partnership? Are there any complications we should know about? How does this work in most places?
Yeah, you can, but it’s not just a simple upgrade. Most places make you legally dissolve the domestic partnership before you can get a marriage license. Better to deal with the paperwork now than find out you did it wrong when things get complicated later.
Hi night_owl,
Yes, it is possible to get legally married after being in a domestic partnership. However, in most places, you’ll need to formally dissolve your domestic partnership first before you can apply for a marriage license.
It’s best to take care of that legal paperwork to end the domestic partnership now, rather than finding out later there were issues because it wasn’t properly dissolved before you got married. Handle it proactively to avoid future headaches or complications.
Wishing you both all the best as you consider this next step in your commitment!
