What are California's policies regarding registered domestic partnerships? The IRS doesn't recognize registered domestic partnerships (RDPs) as marriages. Because of this, RDPs must file their federal and California tax returns using two separate accounts.
The domestic partnership will terminate automatically six months after the date the Notice of Termination of Domestic Partnership is filed with the California Secretary of State, as long as neither partner revokes (cancels) the termination before the end of the six-month period.
The Notice of Commencement shall be recorded in the office of the Clerk where the real property is located. A certified copy of the Notice of Commencement must be posted on the property. The property owner must sign the Notice of Commencement and no one else may be permitted to sign in his or her stead.
The Hillsborough County Domestic Partnership Registry was established to provide benefits for unmarried residents. Unmarried residents who are registered in Domestic Partnership Registry and decide to marry in the future should file a notice of Domestic Partnership termination in the registry at the time of marriage.
How Does California Define Domestic Partnership? California law defines a domestic partnership as “two adults who have chosen to share one another's lives in an intimate and committed relationship of mutual caring.” It's an option for couples who share domestic life but don't necessarily want to get married.
