The government of Montenegro, as it has announced, is trying to improve the position of the LGBT community in the country under Lovcen, and the important part of that are marriages, and the care of adopted children. 

It is known that the first publicly declared homosexual in Montenegro Zdravko Cimbaljevic had to emigrate to Canada due to the lack of such law.

The Draft Law states that a partnership of persons of the same sex shall be concluded in front of the Registrar, in a ceremonial manner, in an official room suitably arranged for that purpose. Both future partners will attend this ceremony, the register, and godfathers. Partners can keep their lasts name or take the last name of their partner.

Also, as a common last name, they can take their last names and they can add it to their own. When the consent statements are given, the register declares that the partnership has been concluded, which is recorded in the register, signed by the partners, godfathers and the man in charge of the register.

In the case of "divorce", the conditions are almost the same as the ones in Family law. The partnership stops with the death of the partner, with the annulment and the breakup.

- A partner can ask for the annulment of the relations are seriously, or permanently disturbed or if the partnership cannot be achieved for some other reason. The divorce can be asked for by one of the spouses, as well as with the consensual proposal. With the consensual proposal to break up the partnership, spouses are obliged to submit to the court a written agreement on the division of common property - the draft law on the life partnership of the same sex states.

Public hearing will be held in Bijelo Polje, Budva, and Podgorica.

The draft law doesn't mention the "adoption of children". It is stated that the "partner who is not the parent of the child is obliged to support the children of other partners, even though if they don't have any relatives who are obliged to support them by law". The partner's obligation also exists after the death of the child's parent.

- When a child is in immediate danger, the partner has the right to make emergency decisions in accordance with the best interest of the child, and to inform the parent right away. Everyday decisions can be made by the partner with the consent of the child's parents.
