Till Death or Divorce: Why You Need to Plan Now for Your Relationship’s End

After the excitement of Valentine's Day fades away and the last indulgence of chocolate is savored, it's crucial to turn our attention to a topic that may not be as thrilling as the idea of everlasting love: the reality that all relationships come to an end one day.

Before you stop reading, hear me out.

 

Whether it’s a breakup, divorce, or the death of a loved one after a lifetime together, every relationship eventually will come to an end. The most important thing is how you have planned for that ending, or whether you haven’t at all, as your planning (or lack of it) will have a real impact on you, your partner, your children, and your assets. 

 

The silver lining? While we can't prevent the end, we can prepare for it with a blend of compassion and strategic planning that makes the end the best possible foundation for a new beginning.

 

Understanding the Intersection of Love and Law

Love is wonderful—joyful moments, shared dreams for the future, and yes, some legal considerations too.

How to Safeguard Your Business from Your Business Partner’s Divorce

Most business partnerships begin with shared goals and optimism. But life happens, and personal matters—especially divorce—can create ripple effects that threaten your company’s financial stability, leadership continuity, and future. If you’re in business with a partner, their divorce isn’t just their personal issue; it could become your business’s problem, too.

What types of problems could be lurking around the corner? Some may include disruptions to your daily operations,  ownership disputes, and even financial loss. But by taking proactive steps, you can shield your business from these risks and ensure that personal life changes don’t derail your company’s success.

Here’s how:

Protecting Your Rights: Estate Planning Strategies for Same-Sex Couples

The political landscape is shifting, and many same-sex couples are worried about what could happen if federal protections for their marriages are rolled back. You’ve worked hard to build a life together, and the last thing you need is uncertainty about whether your marriage, your assets, or your rights will be recognized in the future.

While no one can predict exactly what will happen, proper estate planning gives you security, regardless of political changes.

 

UNDERSTANDING CURRENT PROTECTIONS AND POTENTIAL CHANGES

Same-sex marriage is currently recognized in all 50 states under federal law, protected by the Supreme Court's Obergefell decision and the Respect for Marriage Act. If you were married in states like Massachusetts or New York—early adopters of marriage equality—your marriage remains valid under those state laws regardless of federal changes.

 

But state-level protections vary significantly. Some states have explicit constitutional protections for same-sex marriage, while others maintain laws that could restrict marriage rights if federal protections change. Understanding your state's specific laws is crucial. For example, Massachusetts not only recognizes same-sex marriage but also provides strong protections for non-biological parents and inheritance rights.
