Civil unions are now recognized by the City of Sedona, Arizona. As of October 24, 2013, the City of Sedona has provided a registry for two unmarried persons who share “a relationship of mutual support, caring and commitment” to document their relationship legally.
The main purpose of a relationship contract is to create safety. In our context, the relationship contract isn't something that is legally binding (like marriage or prenups), it's much more a fluid agreement that you and your partner get to co-create and re-create.
Two individuals seeking to become domestic partners must complete and file a declaration of domestic partnership in person with the City Clerk Department. Each applicant must provide a valid photo ID issued by a United States government agency that provides name, date of birth, height, weight, and hair and eye color.
A domestic partner shares your permanent residence. You are jointly responsible for basic living expenses. You are not legally married. You are both at least 18 years of age.
If one or more of the facts affirmed in the declaration of domestic partnership no longer exists, one or both parties to a domestic partnership shall file a notarized notice of termination of domestic partnership with the City Clerk Department.
