A: I'm sorry, but lawyers cannot answer your question without more information. A conservatorium is a school that focuses on music courses. Perhaps you mean a conservatorship? If so, is it a conservatorship of your boyfriend or someone else? Again, much more information is needed before this question can be answered. Best wishes.

A: Living under a conservatorship while maintaining a romantic relationship is possible, but the specific details depend on your conservatorship terms and your conservator's views.

Your right to cohabitate with your boyfriend will largely depend on the type and scope of your conservatorship. If you have a limited conservatorship that only covers specific aspects of your life (like financial decisions), you may retain the freedom to make your own choices about living arrangements and relationships. However, if you have a general conservatorship that includes personal care decisions, your conservator might need to approve your living situation.

The best approach is to discuss your wishes openly with your conservator and possibly involve your attorney to review your conservatorship terms. You might also consider requesting a modification to your conservatorship agreement if needed to accommodate your desired living arrangement. Keep in mind that California courts generally aim to preserve as much independence as possible for conservatees while ensuring their wellbeing and safety.
