Same-Sex Divorce Lawyers in Charlotte

Same-sex divorce brings unique legal complexities that require experienced, compassionate legal guidance.

At Waple & Houk, PLLC, we understand that the end of a marriage is an emotionally challenging time, especially when navigating the evolving legal landscape of same-sex divorce. Our skilled family law attorneys are here to provide the knowledge and support you need to protect your rights and secure a fair outcome.

Addressing the Unique Challenges of Same-Sex Divorce

Same-sex divorce can present distinct challenges, particularly in areas such as property division, child custody, and spousal support. Given the relatively recent recognition of same-sex marriages nationwide, couples may encounter additional hurdles in untangling their financial and familial lives.

  • Property Division: Equitable distribution of marital property can be more complicated if a same-sex couple cohabited for years before legal marriage. North Carolina law emphasizes assets acquired during the marriage, and determining what qualifies as “marital property” may involve meticulous documentation and strategic advocacy.
  • Child Custody: When children are involved, custody issues can become particularly sensitive. If only one parent is the biological or adoptive parent, establishing physical and legal custody for the non-biological parent may require thorough representation. At Waple & Houk, we advocate fiercely for solutions that prioritize the best interests of the children while ensuring fair parental rights.
  • Spousal Support: The court considers numerous factors when determining alimony, including length of the marriage and financial circumstances. Same-sex divorces often require a nuanced approach to help the court fairly evaluate contributions to the relationship, particularly in cases where one spouse put their career or education on hold to support the other.
