Can you get married if you already have a domestic partnership?

If you want to marry your existing domestic partner, then you may do so. If you are a same-sex couple, however, you will have to marry in a state that permits same-sex marriage.

If your existing domestic partnership ("DP") is a state-registered comprehensive domestic partnership, then you cannot marry in a state that offers state-registered comprehensive DPs. You also cannot marry in a state that permits same-sex marriage, since these recognize your DP as an existing marriage.

If your existing DP was state-registered in Wisconsin, then it does not prevent you from marrying in another state. If you are a same-sex couple, however, you will have to marry in a state that permits same-sex marriage.

If your existing DP is a municipal- or county-registered DP, then it does not prevent you from marrying someone else. If you are a same-sex couple, however, you will have to marry in a state that permits same-sex marriage.
