How Can Same-Sex Divorces Become Complex?

While same-sex divorces pose unique alimony concerns, asset division challenges, child custody challenges, and the added complexity of high net worth clients, even the most seemingly straightforward divorce can feature unforeseen complexity.

Just like in divorces involving heterosexual couples, LGBT and same-sex divorces can include the following areas of law:

Prenuptial agreements

Asset valuation

Parenting plans

Child support

Parental fitness

Alimony

Drafting the separation agreement

Restraining orders

Contempt

Modifications

Abuse and potentially criminal actions

Same-Sex Divorces Are Often High Net Worth Divorces

Compounding the complexity surrounding child custody, asset division, and alimony is the fact that many same-sex LGBT couples feature two high-income individuals.

High net worth divorces are far from unique: They occur when both heterosexual marriages and LGBT marriages break down, and the spouses have substantial income and assets between them. However, the unique complexities surrounding same-sex divorce are often amplified in high net worth cases, where the additional wealth requires additional skillsets from the attorneys involved.

The truth is that both same-sex divorce cases and high-net-worth divorce cases require attorneys to possess unique skills, experience, and resources. An attorney representing an LGBT client in a high net worth divorce must possess the skills required for all of the challenges arising from both classes of cases.
