Experienced divorce lawyers ready to help

The legal process for same-sex divorces is the same as opposite-sex divorces. However, unique challenges can arise, particularly related to the length of the marriage, recognition of the marriage before nationwide legalization, and issues like child custody and adoption. Attorneys with Marble understand these nuances and can guide you through them.

Child custody can be complex in same-sex divorces, particularly if one parent is not a biological parent or if the child was adopted. In the U.S., custody laws vary by state, and our team can help ensure that your parental rights are fully protected and that the best interests of your children are prioritized.

Property division in a same-sex divorce can be influenced by when your marriage was legally recognized, especially if you lived together before marriage equality laws were passed in 2015. Marble can help you navigate these complexities to pursue a fair division of assets.

Spousal support (or alimony) in a same-sex divorce follows the same principles as in any divorce under U.S. law, but factors such as the duration of the relationship before marriage legalization may come into play. We can help you understand your rights.

While all states are required to recognize same-sex marriages after the 2015 Supreme Court ruling, you may still face challenges if local laws are not fully aligned. Attorneys with Marble can help you navigate any complications specific to your state.

In the U.S., if you and your spouse have adopted children, or if one of you is a biological parent, custody and parental rights can become complex. Marble can help handle these sensitive issues while keeping the best interests of your children in mind.
