LGBTQIA+ Divorce & Family Law

LGBTQIA+ Divorce & Family Law: Families come in all shapes and sizes, and so do the issues they face. If you are in a same-sex marriage or relationship, many of the decisions you will need to make about your future are identical to those made by all couples. Should you get married? What about having kids — what are your options? What if your marriage ends — what could you expect from divorce?

At the same time, same sex couples also grapple with unique issues: What if you are already in a Civil Union — is this the same as marriage? Are adoption laws different for LGBTQIA+ individuals or couples trying to adopt — can you be discriminated against? Do you have any kind of parental rights to children in your relationship who you don’t adopt? What if your relationship has lasted for decades, but you only got married very recently as laws allowed, and now you want to get a divorce. How will assets be divided? What can you do to secure your future?

You have questions. We have answers. We understand how to safeguard your rights, your children, your assets, and your future. Find out more about the legal aspects of getting together, getting married, having children, or divorcing, child custody and alimony matters:
