HOMEWORK ASSSINGMENT
I know that the ley de uniones estables de pareja is the cohabitation law, but what would these unions be called in English? Civil Unions?
Context: Coherentemente con ello, el artículo 40.7 del Estatuto establece que «los poderes públicos deben promover la igualdad de las distintas uniones estables de pareja, teniendo en cuenta sus características, con independencia de la orientación sexual de sus miembros» y que «la ley debe regular estas uniones y otras formas de convivencia y sus efectos».

civil partnerships/domestic partnerships/civil unions
I unwillingly answered your question in the reference box.
Note from asker:
| I was found this to be an incorrect translation going back to this. I believe the proper translation is stable cohabitating/cohabitation as looking into the cohabitation act, it is distinct from civil unions or domestic partnerships. http://derecho.esadeblogs.com/2011/03/09/parejas-estables-en-el-nuevo-libro-ii-del-codigo-civil-de-cataluna/ |
| Yes but it's not referring to civil unions which are unions de hecho. See: http://derecho.esadeblogs.com/2011/03/09/parejas-estables-en-el-nuevo-libro-ii-del-codigo-civil-de-cataluna/ and http://spainlawyer.com/guia-legal/familia/el-parentesco |
| I can't reply above - not a big deal if you are wrong on this, but I think it needs further investigation. This text is for Spain, Catalonia, and I don't believe it means civil partnerships in this instance so revisit it when you get a chance. NBD. |

Civil partnerships
The Civil Partnership Act 2004 (c 33) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The Bill for this Act was introduced by the Labour government and supported by the Conservative and Liberal Democrat opposition. The Act grants civil partnerships in the United Kingdom with rights and responsibilities very similar to civil marriage. Civil Partners are entitled to the same property rights as married opposite-sex couples, the same exemption as married couples social security and pension benefits, and also the ability to get parental responsibility for a partner's children, as well as responsibility for reasonable maintenance of one's partner and their children, tenancy rights, full life insurance recognition, next-of-kin rights in hospitals, and others. There is a formal process for dissolving partnerships akin to divorce.

In the USA and other countries 'civil unions' or 'domestic partnerships'
A civil union, also referred to by a variety of other names, is a legally recognized arrangement similar to marriage. These unions have been established in a number of countries since the late 1990s, often developing from less formal domestic partnership legislation. In Denmark, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, they have since been replaced, and in a number of other countries supplemented, by same-sex marriage. Civil unions are often seen by campaigners as a "first step" towards legalizing marriage for same-sex couples. While civil unions are predominantly established for both opposite-sex and same-sex couples, in a number of countries they are available to same-sex couples only. In Greece they are available to opposite-sex couples only.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_union
Civil union and domestic partnerships are a second-class status, and when people take on all the commitments and responsibilities of marriage they should not be treated like second-class citizens. While these legal mechanisms provide a measure of protections to same-sex couples and their families, they are no substitute for the full measure of respect, clarity, security and responsibilities of marriage itself. They exclude people from marriage and create an unfair system that often does not work in emergency situations when people need it most.

I'm afraid I haven't researched the term for same-sex couples. Thank you for your help and agreement. // I had no idea civil partnerships weren't available to opposite-sex couples in the UK.

English and Welsh law draws a sharp distinction between those in a marriage or civil partnership, and those not in one.
http://www.marilynstowe.co.uk/2010/10/01/the-law-on-cohabita...
Civil partners, as with cohabiting couples, are considered financially separate from each other; they have no obligation to clear each other’s debts and have separate tax allowances, however when it comes to maintenance if the relationship dissolves, civil partners do have an equal duty to maintain each other, this means if taken to court they can claim money from their partner for things like childcare and joint assets. If you are in a civil partnership then your partner is your next of kin, however if you are cohabiting then next of kin is a blood relative, this means if you should go into hospital your partner may not automatically be allowed in to visit you. - See more at: http://whensallymetsally.co.uk/features/civil-partnership-la...
