With the recent legalization of same sex marriage in Arizona last October, couples that choose to marry have also earned the right to same sex divorce. Under this provision, married partners seeking same sex divorce are afforded legal protection with regard to property division and spousal support.
Where is can get tricky, however, is if there is a child or children involved. Unless both partners are the legal parents of the children, there will be additional complications with custody and parenting time if a separation occurs.
Because this legislation is so new, you will want to make sure that you consult with a law firm that is equipped to handle your case. Our family law attorneys at May, Potenza, Baran, & Gillespie are prepared to help you should you find yourself in such a situation. At May Potenza, we represent the needs of families here in Arizona.
