Protecting the Rights of the LGBT Community

Couples within the LGBT community are faced with many unique challenges when family law issues arise. Those challenges often require creative legal solutions.

Family Law and the LGBT Community

Same-sex marriage became legal in Florida on January 6, 2015. This new legislature abolished the original law which banned same-sex marriage and was enacted in 1977. After a district court ruling declared that the state’s same-sex marriage ban was unconstitutional, actions were taken to legalize the recognition of these unions.

The right of marriage brings a host of other rights associated with a legally recognized union, including divorce. Now, same sex couples who are married in Florida, or were married in other states, can seek to dissolve a marriage in the state.

Although divorce laws for same-sex couples were somewhat unclear in the days following the new marriage legislature, the tides have now turned in the favor of these individuals. Same-sex couples are allowed to divorce from each other in Florida.

Regardless of the circumstances surrounding your marriage, the decision to divorce can be a difficult one. Our firm wants to ensure that your rights are protected throughout this tenuous time and offer the compassionate support you need. We would be honored to represent you amidst your divorce. For over a decade, Anne E. Raduns, PA has been serving the local community, handling a wide array of family law issues.
