With the passage of Amendment 1 to the North Carolina Constitution, LGBT couples in our state face a number of questions when considering family planning and marriage.
While North Carolina does not recognize marriage between same-sex couples, other issues including marrying in another state and living in North Carolina, parenting agreements, and domestic partnership agreements are important to consider. Other issues to be contemplated by North Carolina LGBT persons include:
- Tax implications of marrying your partner in another state
- Inheritance rights and end of life planning documents
- Legal name changes
- Federal benefits, including Social Security and Medicare
- Ownership of real property
