Same-Sex Divorces and Problems They Face
The legalization of LGBT marriages in Florida is still a relatively new
concept and area of the law. Legal professionals and lawmakers are still
waiting to see if problematic complexities arise in
family law disputes involving same-sex couples, especially divorce. The idea is that
the elimination of male- and female-centered “roles” in marriage
could have some effect on legislation.
At this time, however, LGBT divorces should be treated just like any other
divorce. Preexisting proceedings can be readily applied to these newer
forms of marriage dissolution without much difficulty, as long as the
case is handled by an experienced divorce lawyer.
When you are divorcing your LGBT spouse, we will want to discuss important
matters that could affect your future wellbeing, such as:
Unique Circumstances Regarding Children
There are a few aspects of LGBT divorces and married life that present
somewhat complicated areas of the law, and require creative and thorough
legal strategies to overcome:
child custody and time sharing, sometimes called visitation. For most same-sex married couples, any children
that they share together will be from a legal adoption, not birth. When
a court cannot readily define a biological connection between the child
and either parent, other means will have to be utilized to determine who
should get primary custody, and how often the other parent will be allowed
to visit. Typically, this boils down to who can provide the best, most
comfortable life for the child.
Courts may consider the following when determining child custody and visitation
rights in your LGBT divorce:
- Each spouse’s financial stability
- Each spouse’s criminal and medical history
- Child’s health and age
- Child’s apparent attachment to each parent
