Same-Sex Divorce
While same-sex marriages are not recognized by a court of law within the state of Texas, it is important to realize those involved in a committed same-sex partnership can be involved in many of the same disputes, experiences, and concerns as heterosexual couples who have been married by the state. This includes divorce.
If you are considering an end to your same-sex marriage, you should consult with a skilled and experienced attorney who can offer legal guidance. Contact the Austin divorce attorneys of Slater, Kennon & Pugh, LLP, at 512-472-2431 to discuss your situation with a compassionate legal representative.
Legal Involvement in your Same-Sex Divorce
If you are ending your committed relationship, you and your partner are likely going to face a number of challenging decisions. An attorney can help you with the following:
- Determining what assets will go to which partner
- Mediating agreements between you and your partner concerning ownership of property
- If you have adopted children together, working with you to file for a custody agreement
- Develop a contract to legally bind you and your partner to the agreements made concerning your divorce or separation
Ending a committed relationship can be a complicated and emotional experience, especially when you and your partner have been living together or own property together. Having the assistance of an experienced professional can help you to protect your interests throughout this process.
