Domestic Partnership Dissolution and Divorce for Same-Sex Couples
Same-sex couples who need legal assistance in family law matters must often deal with challenges that differ from those faced by straight couples. In such situations, it is critical to obtain knowledgeable legal counsel to address the special issues related to registered domestic partnerships.
At Moradi Saslaw LLP, our attorneys have substantial experience working with clients who seek to dissolve same-sex relationships.
Issues in California Domestic Partnerships
Couples in domestic partnerships have many unique legal issues to consider when they separate, including:
- Dividing assets in a way that avoids adverse tax consequences to the parties
- Establishing and protecting parent-child relationships
- Navigating the division of retirement assets
- Creating support arrangements that account for the disparate treatment of same sex couples by the Internal Revenue Service.
Our attorneys' education and experience enables us to counsel clients about the financial impact of their dissolution. We will assist you with the analysis of your property and debts and help you determine the best way to achieve your specific financial needs and goals. We will also help you enforce or establish your parental rights, whether through negotiated agreement with the other parent or through litigation.
