Protect Your Pre-Existing Assets
Some domestic partners want to make sure that their pre-existing assets will not become community property. Thomas Hogan has more than 20 years of experience as a property division and community property lawyer. As a certified public accountant, he brings an added ability to craft financial legal strategies that will maximize your asset protection in a pre-partnership agreement.
Adoptions and Surrogacy
Our law office has successfully represented same-sex couples who have adopted or gone through surrogacy. Mr. Hogan can guide you through the adoption or surrogate process and help you avoid pitfalls that can later cause you problems.
Terminations of Domestic Partnerships and Nonmarital Cohabitation
Mr. Hogan can help make a difficult time less challenging by providing you with practical and effective legal guidance on how to proceed through a termination of your partnership.
If you are uncertain what your rights are now that you are terminating your relationship, Mr. Hogan can help you. If there has been a verbal understanding between two parties that one would take care of the house and the other would provide financial support, it may be possible for the person who does not contribute financially to make a claim for nonmarital support and property. This may be the case even if there was no verbal agreement or written contract.
