Civil Union Agreements

Massachusetts is one of the states permitting full marriage rights to same-sex couples. There is therefore no Massachusetts civil union under Massachusetts laws. Other states have enacted civil union statutes that incorporate some or all of the laws relating to “marriage” under a different name. A couple that wishes to further define the terms of their civil union can work with a family mediator to facilitate their discussion, explore options, and come to agreement. An agreement created during marital mediation can help limit conflict and litigation in the future.
 
When couple wishes to dissolve their civil union, mediation is an excellent way to come to terms without resort to court litigation. In a private, confidential setting, with the help of a family mediator, the partners can address concerns, develop solutions, and come to agreements.
