Document background
The Domestic Partner Affidavit is a crucial document in the Belgian legal system used to formally establish and verify a domestic partnership under the country's legal cohabitation framework. This document is particularly important when partners need to prove their relationship status for various purposes, including employee benefits, insurance coverage, property rights, or immigration matters. The affidavit must comply with Belgian Civil Code requirements and includes detailed declarations about the partners' relationship, shared living arrangements, and mutual obligations. It serves as evidence of the partnership for third parties and can be used in various administrative and legal contexts. The document is especially relevant in situations where formal recognition of the partnership is required but the parties have not entered into marriage.
