Divorce Can Be Tough On Your Own
Splitting up is rarely the most fun thing to do, but when you two are married, then there are real legal steps that must be undertaken. Every state has their own laws and rules related to how this goes, and a big topic of conversation of each one is the subject of how your money is to be divided. Understandably, most people have some ideas as to what they would like to see.
Here in our state, we use a concept known as “equitable distribution” to determine the division of financial assets and liabilities. Equitable distribution takes a deep dive into the history of the marriage, including factors like financial and familial input to calculate a just and reasonable solution. But it can also be complex, so if you are struggling to understand it, reach out to our team to find out a little more.
Navigating Adoption As An LGBTQ Couple
Another area where LGBTQ individuals might need to speak with an attorney is during the adoption process. While the Supreme Court has ruled that people have a right to adopt regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identification, not everyone involved in the process may agree with that decision. By keeping a qualified family law attorney at hand, you can keep the focus on defending your rights as you look to expand your family.
