Protecting Every Family in the Minneapolis-St. Paul Metro

Olup & Associates LLC is committed to helping all Minnesota families. While Minnesota law has yet to sanction domestic partnership agreements between same sex couples, Olup & Associates LLC works to help individuals who are unable or unwilling to marry the ones they love achieve some, but not all, of the benefits of marriage. In Minnesota, since there is no recognition of "common law spouses," these agreements become all the more important.

Crafting Domestic Agreements in Minnesota

Relatively few states throughout the nation offer domestic partnership agreements to same sex couples or heterosexuals who are living together without being married. In those states where such agreements exist, couples share many of the same rights and responsibilities as married couples. In states like Minnesota, where such agreements have not been recognized, creatively-designed legal approaches to drafting a contract between two parties offer many of the same advantages and rights as a domestic partnership.

With the guidance of our experienced attorneys, couples can make informed decisions on the terms of a contract, recognized by law, between each individual. While a contract cannot provide all the benefits of marriage, it does provide an effective tool for legally recognizing a relationship between two individuals at critical times.
