This workshop will examine the national patchwork of protections available to those in same-sex relationships, including marriage, civil unions, registered domestic partnerships, reciprocal beneficiary statuses, and the protections available through legal instruments and under common law and equitable theories. The workshop will present an overview of impact litigation and legislative measures to secure greater protections for same-sex couples and their children and discuss the interstate problems that are arising when couples with protections available in one state move or travel to states that do not provide comparable protections.
