How Does Same Sex Divorce Work in Texas?
Same-sex divorce in Texas follows the same legal process as heterosexual divorces, including decisions about property division, child custody, and spousal maintenance. However, gay and lesbian couples, particularly those who were together before Texas recognized marriage equality in 2015, may face added complications. Issues like determining the official length of the marriage, dividing property acquired before legal recognition, or asserting parental rights can require careful legal strategy. We help you navigate these complexities with precision.
