Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Nolo Press legal guides provide useful and accurate information on how to manage your own affairs or, failing this, how to hire a lawyer and negotiate the court system. The rapid changes in gay and lesbian life in the past 30 years have not been reflected in the legal codes of most states, and without enforceable written agreements, gay and lesbian people may find such crucial matters as inheritance, legal guardianship, child custody, and support left to the whim of a judge or state agency. As the writers of this volume (first published in 1980) point out, "married couples' relationships are defined by law," while lesbian and gay couples have the freedom--and responsibility--to create their own legal relationships. Agreements drawn up in advance provide guidance for a time when all is not moonbeams and madness. Tear-out forms and sample documents are included. --Regina Marler --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Library Journal
Medical care issues receive substantial attention in this new edition--powers of attorney, visitation, insurance, burial, property, and finances, with detailed sample documents included. Other revised topics include estate planning; lawyers and legal research, including a list of lesbian and gay rights organizations; and surrogate mothers. Other chapters (property, finances, children, and breaking up) have basically remained the same. Convenient full-size tear-out agreement forms are appended, as well as a new list of AIDS organizations. While Eric Marcus's Male Couple's Guide to Living Together ( LJ 3/1/88) covers similar ground, this is quite thorough and contains a great deal of practical advice that could be used by heterosexual couples as well. Recommended for public and academic libraries, and legal collections.
