Civil Union and LGBTQ Relationship Dissolutions

LGBTQ couples could not legally marry nationwide until 2015. This means that prior to 2015 many couples cohabitated and acquired property and maybe raise children together only to separate prior to taking advantage of the new marriage laws. Many other couples simply decide not to marry but may still co-mingle their assets or purchase property together; even raise children. This can lead to complex legal questions when the parties decide to separate, especially since the state of Georgia did away with common law marriage. If there is no legal marriage, it is important to see legal counsel to determine your rights and how best to approach separation. Our experienced lawyers can help.
