Legal Planning for Unmarried Committed Partners: Empirical Lessons for a Preventive and Therapeutic Approach

Abstract

This Article applies the perspectives of Therapeutic Jurisprudence and Preventive Law to legal planning for persons in nonmarital committed relationships. The Article describes, generally, the law affecting the long-term property and health care planning of unmarried committed partners. In addition, the Article describes the synthesis of Therapeutic Jurisprudence and Preventive Law as a framework for analysis of this problem. The results of an empirical study are presented in order to shed light on the current long-term planning practices of unmarried committed partners. Finally, these results are discussed in the context of TJ-preventive law principles and practice of TJ-preventive law.
