Asset division attorneys for same-sex divorce
in West Palm Beach & Hialeah FL
McKinnon Legal, a family law firm
based in Miramar, Florida, is
pleased to announce that it is now
offering divorce and mediation
services to same-sex couples in
the South Florida region.
"McKinnon Legal seeks to
understand the challenges that
same-sex couples may face when
going through a divorce," said a
spokesperson for the South
Florida Family Law Firm.
Some of the unique challenges of the
dissolution of marriage for same-sex couples
which can have unique complications
compared similar marriages of heterosexual
couples can include: Legal recognition: In
some states, same-sex marriage may not be
legally recognized, which can make it difficult.
Dividing these assets fairly can be
challenging, particularly if the
couple lives in a state that does
not have clear guidelines for the
division of assets in same-sex
divorce cases.
Many divorce attorneys are not equipped
to handle the unique challenges that
come from same-sex couple unions that
dissolve, in part because there is often
unclear guidelines as to which partner - if
either - is owed anything like permanent
alimony.
Child custody: If a same-sex
couple has minor children,
determining custody, parental
rights, and visitation
arrangements can be complex.
Health insurance: If a couple has
been covered under one
partner's health insurance, the
divorce process may involve
figuring out how to obtain
coverage for both partners.
Pension and retirement benefits:
Dividing pension and retirement
benefits can be complicated in any
divorce case, but it can be
particularly challenging for same-sex
couples in states that do not
recognize their marriages.
Social stigma: Some same-sex
couples may face
discrimination or stigma during
the divorce process, which can
be emotionally difficult to
navigate.
These are just a few of the
challenges that same-sex
couples may face when
getting a divorce.
