Just a follow up to let you know that after inquiring with my company, I learned that they only consider same sex relationships as eligible for domestic partnership.

~~There are no laws requiring this. It is up to your employer on whether this option is available to you or not.~~

Wow! that is a great question. I doubt it. Right now insurance companies are barely insuring domestic partners.But it never hurts to ask.

If your policy offers coverage for domestic partners and yours is required to cover the child, and he or she does not have other coverage, then you should be able to cover the child. However, domestic partner rights are still iffy, at best. Many employers will provide domestic partner benefits, but because the IRS guidelines for pre-tax benefits state that the spouse must meet the IRS definition of a spouse or dependent, they are considering the cost of the coverage as income. Simply, if you pay $25 a month for single coverage, and $125 a month for yourself and a partner who does not meet the IRS definition, you will have to pay taxes on that extra $1200 a year. It will appear on your W-2 as taxable income. You may want to look at the availability of a private plan for the child. Good luck!
