Same-Sex Divorce
Why Hire James E. Crawford, Jr. & Associates?
Same-sex couples are just like opposite-sex couples. They’ll fall in love and get married. They may decide to have children and raise a family. Unfortunately, some same-sex marriages will also end in divorce.
That’s where we come in.
As divorce and family law lawyers, we’ve been representing clients in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and DC since 1992. We’ve seen all sorts of changes that affect divorce and family law. Navigating through these changes is our business.
Legal Rights for Same-Sex Couples
If you’re involved in a same-sex relationship, here’s what you can expect if you separate:
- Children. You will be considered to be the parent of your child, just as your spouse, when it comes to child custody and visitation matters.
- Assets. Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and DC follow equitable distribution of property for married couples, which means fairness in dividing things like homes and retirement accounts.
- Support. Financial spousal support, or alimony, will be determined case-by-case based on a number of factors, just how it is for opposite-sex couples.
