DIVORCING A SAME-SEX PARTNER

If you are part of a same-sex marriage and are concerned that you are facing same-sex divorce, it is time to hire a lawyer. Not very many attorneys know much about this rather new topic, but we at Brian D. Perskin & Associates P.C. have represented numerous clients ready to part with their same-sex spouse. Let us handle the complicated issues you face, including equitable distribution of assets, alimony, and child custody.

WE OFFER ACCURATE ADVICE

Though much of the same-sex divorce process is the same as the traditional procedure, you can expect to run into issues that are unique to your situation. That’s when you need a skilled lawyer guiding you in the right direction, especially if you have children or assets you wish to keep.
Let us advise you before you make any moves when it comes to divorcing your spouse. We will carefully listen to your preferences and requests as we navigate the process with you. We want you to get the outcome you desire, which requires us to let you know exactly what to expect during gay and lesbian divorce in New York.

HOW DOES YOUR CASE DIFFER FROM OTHERS?

Though the general process is the same as with traditional divorce, you may be surprised at all the unexpected details you will encounter. For example, you may run into issues regarding how long you have lived in New York, as well as how long you have been married to your partner. The rules regarding these topics are not always clear, but they are important when it comes to dividing your assets and debts.
You may also wonder how taxes, estate planning, and health insurance rules work when it comes to your marriage, since federal laws are often different from state laws. Plus, many laws regarding same-sex marriage are new, so even those in charge may not always stay up-to-date. That’s why you need someone on your side who will stay updated at all times.
If you and your partner have children together, you will need an expert on child custody and support when it comes to same-sex couples. Whether your kids are biologically yours or adopted, we can help you achieve the best outcome for them. We will assist you in negotiating custody and child support, and working out a parenting plan.
Of course, if your spouse will not compromise on any of this, we will represent you in the courtroom. We realize just how important these issues are, so we strive to get the best results for you in the end.
