Even before same-sex marriage was legalized in Ohio and across the U.S., Kvale Antonelli & Raj has long been dealing with the legal issues of bringing together and separating LGBTQ partners. Now that same-sex marriages are the norm, we are well-positioned because of our history of dealing with divorce and custody matters effectively.
Same-sex divorce is now governed by the same statutes as “traditional” divorce. However, our attorneys are attuned to the unique considerations that the LGBT community faces when their marriages or long-term relationships end:
Before the landmark change in the law, we helped gay and lesbian couples dissolve their partnerships through the collaborative divorce process, which eschews litigation to create conditions for an amicable and respectful settlement. We still heartily endorse this option, especially when children are involved.
In the new frontier, our experienced trial lawyers can also represent same-sex clients in divorce litigation when it is necessary to assert your rights forcefully.
Our Cleveland attorneys can address all issues of same-sex family law, representing clients throughout Northeast Ohio. To discuss your situation, call or contact us online.
