Domestic Partnership Recent Article List An Info Guide for Unmarried Couples There was a time when living together in a long-term relationship and acting as husband and wife was considered under the law to be equal to marriage. That was called common law marriage and it was abolished by statute in New Jersey in 1939. Unmarried Relationships in New Jersey Since common law marriage ended, there are no longer any laws with guidelines for determining whether support should be awarded from one unmarried partner to another when their long-term relationship ends. The New Domestic Partnership Law - What It Means For You This Act gives homosexual partners and senior, heterosexual, unmarried couples various rights. To receive these benefits, the couple must file an Affidavit of Domestic Partnership with the local registrar. In order to qualify for registration, the couple must reside together, share living expenses, and share a bank account or some other property.
