In the past, only same-sex couples and opposite-sex couples over 62 had legal access to domestic partnerships, but now, thanks to SB30, heterosexual couples can choose domestic partnerships as an alternative to marriage in California.
Only some states recognize common-law marriages. Importantly, California does not have a common law marriage law. This means that a couple won't be considered legally married no matter how long they've lived together in the state of California.
What is a Domestic Partnership? Existing law specified those entering into a domestic partnership be both the same sex and at least 18 years of age (exceptions to age) or the opposite sex and at least one partner be over 62 years of age.
You may register by completing a Confidential Declaration of Domestic Partnership Form DP-1A, having both partners' signatures notarized, and submitting the form with the appropriate fee to the California Secretary of State.
The order must be prepared on a form issued by the California Department of Public Health Vital Records (CDPH Vital Records), the Order Establishing Fact of Marriage (form VS 122). The top portion of that form is the court order.
