Nassau County Same-Sex Divorce Attorney

New York Gay & LGBTQ Divorce Laws

Following the Supreme Court's ruling on Obergfell v. Hodges, same-sex marriage was legalized nationwide in 2015. Just like any marriage, not all LGBTQ marriages end up working and many gay, lesbian, and queer couples end up dissolving their unions.

If you have the right to marry, you should have the same right to divorce. Our firm has experience handling the delicate matters involved in same-sex divorce in New York, including:

• Child Custody
• Child Support
• Spousal Support
• Property Division
• High-Net Value Divorces
• Legal Separation

Complications arise among gay couples who raised children together but only one was the adoptive or biological parent. Since New York doesn't recognize "de facto" parents – those who share in the raising of a child while living with the child for other reasons than money, this can cause major problems for either party when it comes to visitation rights and child support. In effect, same-sex parents can get divorced in New York, but the state doesn't necessarily enforce parental right and responsibilities.
