The term is not used consistently, which results in some inter-jurisdictional confusion. Some jurisdictions, such as Australia, New Zealand, and the American states of Oregon, Washington (only available if one of the parties is 62 or older), Nevada, Wisconsin, Maine, and California, use the term „Domestic Partnership“ to mean what other jurisdictions call Civil Union, Civil Partnership, or Registered Partnership.
Domestic partnership" on termin, mida kasutatakse valdavalt nö ameerika inglise keeles, kuid sellel kui legaaldefinitsioonil on Ameerika Ühendriikides osariigiti erinev tähendus, mistõttu ei eelda see ilmtingimata registreerimist. Seetõttu kasutatakse paralleelselt ka mõistet" registered domestic partnership". Seega oleks minu arvates "domestic partnership" tähendus eesti keeles „(registreeritud) mitteabieluline kooselu“ ning "domestic partner" tähendus „(registreeritud) elukaaslane".
