I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

domestic partnership property rights. I've been dealing with this for about 15 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online but did not get a clear answer.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's bar association? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

Attorney here. Here's my take on the legal issues.

This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under the relevant statute, actionable.

You should consult with a local attorney who handles these cases. Many offer free initial consultations.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.
