One of the continuing challenges for American marital property law in the
twenty-first century, broadly understood, is what to do about property
disputes between domestic partners who are not married. More precisely,
the challenge is determining what to do when there are property disputes
between unmarried intimate partners, whether heterosexual or homosexual.
>From what I can tell, this is as much of a challenge in Texas as it is in
the rest of the country.

In the northwest corner of the country, we have a set of attitudes that,
like many social and cultural norms, have found their way into our common
law. These northwestern attitudes might not be so common, or at least so
commonly understood, in Texas. Thus, the purpose of this article is to
describe how my Blue State of Washington handles property disputes between
domestic partners, as well as to discuss what Texas might be able to take
from a Blue State approach.
