Standing Up For Your Parental Rights
Parental rights can be a critical issue for same-sex couples. In Florida, both members of married same-sex couples are automatically granted such rights for children born during the marriage. However, things are quite different for unmarried same-sex couples. For these couples, only the birth parent automatically has parental rights. There are options for the other parent to secure such rights such as a second-parent adoption. Our attorneys can help you understand your options for ensuring you and your partner have full parental rights.
Addressing Your Unique Divorce Needs
Florida has recognized same-sex marriages since 2015. However, same-sex couples can still face additional complications when it comes to divorce. Getting fair property division and alimony arrangements can be tricky when the relationship predates the legal recognition of same-sex marriage. This is because the length of the marriage may not accurately reflect the full duration of the relationship. Child custody issues can also be intricate if children were born before the legal recognition of same-sex marriage in the state.
Our same-sex family law attorneys can assist you in addressing such matters, and other divorce challenges, in a prompt and effective manner. We will seek fair solutions respectful of your rights and unique circumstances.
