Actress Meredith Baxter has obtained a marriage licence to wed her partner.

The former Family Ties star and Nancy Locke filed the legal paperwork on Friday (08Nov13) in Beverly Hills, California, according to Tmz.com.

Details surrounding the impending nuptials are scarce, but invitations have reportedly already been sent out.

Baxter, who was previously married to Robert Lewis Bush, David Birney and actor/screenwriter Michael Blodgett, revealed she was a lesbian in 2009, four years after she started dating Locke.
