How Are LGBTQ Divorces Different?
While marriage equality is federally recognized, LGBTQ divorces in Texas present unique legal and procedural challenges that differ from those involving opposite-sex couples.
Unique complexities in LGBTQ divorces include:
- Parental rights – In some LGBTQ families, only one spouse may be the biological or legally recognized parent. Without proper legal documentation, such as an adoption order, questions about custody, visitation, or child support may be difficult to navigate.
- Property division – This is less straightforward for couples who may have shared finances or acquired assets prior to being able to legally marry in the United States. Proving joint ownership or equitable interest can be challenging.
- Biases – Although the legal landscape in Texas and beyond is evolving, LGBTQ individuals and families may encounter unfair treatment in the divorce process. It’s important to have an attorney who’s sensitive to this reality and can fight to rectify rights violations.
If you’re navigating an LGBTQ divorce in Fort Worth, don’t face it alone. Reach out to Turner-Monahan, PLLC online or call (817) 623-0129 today to schedule your free consultation.
