Prenuptial Agreements - A prenuptial agreement, or a premarital agreement, is a written contract created by two individuals who plan to be married. This agreement lists all individually owned property, such as homes and businesses, family assets, stocks and bonds, savings accounts as well as debts, and specifies what will and will not remain individually owned property after the legalization of marriage. Prenuptial agreements also specify whether spousal support will be paid in the event of a divorce, and the intentions regarding distribution of individually owned property upon death.

Domestic Partnerships - Domestic Partners are two people, both of whom are eighteen years of age or older; neither of whom is married who have a relationship of mutual support, caring, and commitment; and are each other's sole domestic partner. This includes a diversity of family configurations, including lesbian, gay and unmarried heterosexual couples (and their children), and unmarried elderly partners.

Legal Separations - An arrangement whereby a married couple lives apart from each other while remaining married, either by mutual consent or judicial decree.
