Emerging Legal Recognition for Multi-Partner Relationships and Families
Description
Diverse relationship statuses are on the rise and gaining social acceptance in the United States—including consensual non-monogamy (CNM) and other family structures not protected by existing family law or policy. For many people, relationships with multiple partners are an enduring element of their family lives. Recently, some localities have passed ordinances allowing for multi-partner domestic partnerships. This webinar will introduce attendees to the emerging legislation and to advocacy efforts to update existing law to a) recognize multi-partner families and b) protect multi-partner families from discrimination.
