Opening day to register for domestic partners

TODAY WAS THE FIRST DAY FOR DOMESTIC COUPLES, GAY OR STRAIGHT, TO FILE FOR OFFICIAL STATE LAW-PROTECTED STATUS OF DOMESTIC PARTNERS.
THE NEW DOMESTIC PARTNERS LAW TAKES EFFECT OCTOBER FIRST AND GIVES DOMESTIC PARTNERS RIGHTS, OBLIGATIONS AND PRIVILEGES ALMOST IDENTICAL TO MARRIED COUPLES, BUT THEY’RE NOT OFFICIALLY MARRIED IN THE EYES OF THE STATE.
PARTNERS MUST OBTAIN AN APPLICATION FORM, EITHER AT A SECRETARY OF STATE’S OFFICE IN RENO, CARSON OR ‘VEGAS, FILL IT OUT, AND MAIL IT IN.
IT WILL REQUIRE PROOF OF WHO YOU ARE, FIFTY DOLLARS AND A NOTARY PUBLIC SEAL ON THE APPLICATION.
APPLICATIONS HAVE BEEN FLYING OUT THE SECRETARY OF STATE’S WEBSITE AND AT THEIR OFFICES.
OFFICIALS SAY THOUSANDS OF COUPLES ARE SEEKING DOMESTIC PARTNERSHIP STATUS.
IF DOMESTIC PARTNERS DON’T FIND HAPPINESS TOGETHER AND SOMEDAY WANT TO END THEIR PARTNERSHIP,THEY JUST GO BACK TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE’S OFFICE, PAY FIFTY DOLLARS AND LEARN HOW TO DO THAT. A WORD OF WARNING…IT GETS A LITTLE MORE COMPLICATED WHEN YOU HIT THE FIVE YEAR MARK.
