33. I think the legal issues for her partner are pretty clear...

she has no legal rights as far as their child or their property go whatsoever.

I read about a case right after 9/11, this was way before the constitutional amendment passed of course, where a woman was killed at the Pentagon. Her partner of 25 years, who had stayed home to take care of the home for most of that time had nothing. No insurance, no home, no property, nada. Her dead partner's family took it all from her.
