Supporting Clients Through Same-Sex Divorce with Compassion and Skill
Expert Legal Representation in Same-Sex Divorce
The legalization of same-sex marriage across the United States was a milestone achievement, ensuring that all couples have the right to marry irrespective of their gender. However, with the right to marry also comes the reality of divorce. The Law Office of Lance H. Meyer, Esq., PLLC is a divorce attorney providing legal representation for same-sex couples navigating the process. Our firm recognizes the unique challenges and nuances that can arise in same-sex divorces and is prepared to guide our clients through this sensitive time with expertise, compassion, and personalized attention.
Understanding Unique Aspects of Same-Sex Divorce
While same-sex divorces involve many of the same legal issues as opposite-sex divorces, such as asset division, spousal support, and child custody, they can also present unique challenges. For example, the recognition of marriage (and by extension, divorce) differs depending on when and where the marriage took place, affecting the division of assets and debts. The Law Office of Lance H. Meyer, Esq., PLLC has a thorough understanding of these unique aspects and works diligently to ensure that our clients’ rights are protected and their needs are met throughout the divorce process.
Addressing Child Custody and Support
Child custody and support are often among the most contentious issues in any divorce, including same-sex divorces. As your divorce attorney, we’re well-versed in addressing these sensitive matters, always with the best interests of the child at heart. We assist with establishing custody arrangements, parenting plans, and child support agreements that reflect the needs of the child while respecting the rights and responsibilities of each parent. Our goal is to help our clients navigate these challenges with dignity, aiming for outcomes that are equitable and foster a positive environment for the child’s development.
Navigating Asset Division and Spousal Support
In same-sex divorces, the equitable division of marital assets and determination of spousal support are critical aspects that require careful consideration and negotiation. The Law Office of Lance H. Meyer, Esq., PLLC brings a wealth of experience to the table in handling these complex financial matters. We work closely with our clients to ensure a fair and just allocation of assets and liabilities, taking into account the length of the marriage, each spouse’s financial contributions, and future financial needs.
