Gay and Lesbian Divorce Attorneys in New York City
Manhattan Lawyers: Sound Legal Counsel Regarding Gay and Lesbian Divorce
Same-sex couples are now able to marry within the state of New York. New York State also recognizes gay and lesbian marriages that have been entered into validly in other jurisdictions. These same-sex couples who live in New York State and meet the residency requirements, are able to obtain a legal gay and lesbian divorce in the State of New York.
From a strictly legal perspective, gay and lesbian divorce are exactly the same as heterosexual divorces. Emotionally, however, these cases are often much different. Many family law attorneys can handle a divorce case, but few have the experience, sensitivity and understanding it takes to effectively guide a gay or lesbian client through the perils of divorce and the unique challenges he or she may face.

Protecting Your Property, Financial and Custodial Rights
New York divorce laws do not distinguish between heterosexual and same-sex couples in legal separation or divorce. Typical divorce concerns such as property division, alimony/ spousal support, child support, and child custody & visitation are handled through negotiation or trial.
