Usually a person can enter into a domestic partnership if he/she is not married to someone else, it is probably the same vice-versa. Alternate Answer: This is a gray area of the law. However, the general consensus is that domestic partnership with another person is not a bar to marriage. When applying for a marriage license, you will NOT be asked if you have an existing domestic partnership. You will only be asked if you have been previously married. Once you marry, you are no longer eligible for domestic partnership and your pre-existing DP would be void. It is wiser, however, to follow the required procedure for dissolution of domestic partnerships prior to marrying. Usually, dissolving a DP is a fairly easy procedure. States that permit same-sex partnerships do not generally recognize domestic partnerships. For example, when same-sex marriage became legal in Massachusetts, all of the domestic partnership registries of local municipalities became void and parties to a DP were required to marry if they wanted benefits based upon their relationships.
