Glen Burnie Same-Sex Lawyer

The divorce process for married same-sex couples is the same as for heterosexual couples. Both parties require representation to ensure a smooth and fair dissolution of the union.

For domestic partnerships, there are legal agreements that can be drawn up that aid unmarried couples who cohabitate, whether of the same or different sexes. The agreement defines and articulates each party’s property rights, leaving no room for ambiguity. This way, in the case of separation, there are greatly diminished chances of confusion or difficulty when dividing the assets and debts. Our Glen Burnie family law attorneys often create these domestic partnership agreements for our clients and are able to dissolve them smoothly and easily if the couple separates.

Regardless of if a same-sex or heterosexual couple is married or in a domestic partnership, we are able to assist in the whole spectrum of family law proceedings, including:

• Child custody
• Child support
• Adoption
• Property division
• Spousal support

We encourage the couples that are in a domestic partnership not only to create a domestic partnership agreement, but also a more comprehensive estate plan. There are attorneys at our firm who are able to help in this process: creating wills, trusts, and other legal tools that help guarantee a smooth future for your family, no matter what happens. It is better to over prepare and overprotect so that your family is always treated fairly by the law.
