The Divorce Process

Property settlement for a same-sex couple can be somewhat difficult when the two people have lived together for a long time prior to their legal marriage. It gets more difficult to divide assets if two people have been in a committed relationship for years. For most cases, property is divided into marital and non-marital assets, however if a same-sex couple has been living together for years, many of those during which they could not marry, then identifying marital and non-marital property may be much more difficult. In most cases, only property acquired on or after the date of legal marriage may be considered marital property, even if the same-sex couple has been together for many years.
