Jacksonville LGBTQ Divorce Lawyer
There are few things more stressful than facing the possibility of divorce. While this is true for all couples, same-sex families face some additional challenges. Same-sex marriage is still a relatively new concept under state law, and this has led to some complications that opposite-sex couples do not have to handle.
The good news is that you never have to face this challenge alone. At the Law Offices of Jason K.S. Porter, P.A., we understand how impactful the support of a compassionate divorce attorney can be. Before you attempt to navigate this process on your own, discuss your situation with a Jacksonville LGBTQ divorce lawyer.

How Does a Same-Sex Divorce Differ?
Same-sex divorce follows the same general legal process as any other divorce, but there are unique issues that can make these cases more complex. State law recognizes same-sex marriage, which means couples have access to the same divorce statutes as heterosexual spouses. However, questions often arise around property division, child custody, and spousal support due to the relatively recent history of legal recognition.
One area where complications could occur is the division of assets. For couples who lived together for years before same-sex marriage became legally recognized, it may be challenging to determine what qualifies as marital property. Courts typically divide property acquired after the marriage date, but this can feel unfair for couples who built their lives together long before they were able to legally wed.
