Divorcio entre personas del mismo sexo: Cuestiones jurídicas específicas del divorcio de parejas del mismo sexo
El divorcio puede ser un proceso emocional y económicamente estresante para cualquier pareja. Sin embargo, las parejas del mismo sexo se enfrentan a problemas jurídicos específicos que difieren de los que afrontan las parejas heterosexuales. Aunque las parejas del mismo sexo han disfrutado del reconocimiento legal de sus relaciones, incluido el matrimonio, el divorcio no siempre ha sido fácil. Si tiene una relación homosexual y está pensando en divorciarse, es importante que conozca los aspectos legales y contrate a un abogado con experiencia para que le guíe en el proceso.
Una de las cuestiones jurídicas más importantes a las que se enfrentan las parejas del mismo sexo que desean divorciarse es determinar la situación jurídica de su matrimonio. Aunque el matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo es legal en los 50 estados, algunas parejas pueden haberse casado en un estado o país donde no era legal, o pueden haber formado una pareja de hecho o una unión civil antes de que se reconociera el matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo. En estos casos, la pareja puede tener que pasar por procesos legales adicionales para establecer la validez de su matrimonio. Un abogado con experiencia puede ayudar a determinar la situación legal del matrimonio y orientar a la pareja en los trámites legales necesarios.
Otra cuestión jurídica a la que pueden enfrentarse las parejas del mismo sexo en el divorcio es la división de bienes. La división de bienes en el divorcio suele determinarse por las leyes del estado en que reside la pareja. Sin embargo, la división de bienes para las parejas del mismo sexo puede ser complicada porque pueden haber adquirido bienes en varios estados, algunos de los cuales pueden no reconocer su matrimonio. Además, las parejas del mismo sexo pueden tener acuerdos financieros diferentes a los de las parejas heterosexuales, como cuentas bancarias conjuntas o inversiones compartidas, lo que puede complicar aún más la división de bienes. Un abogado con experiencia puede ayudar a las parejas del mismo sexo a resolver los problemas de división de bienes y garantizar que su patrimonio se reparta equitativamente.
La custodia de los hijos es otra cuestión legal a la que pueden enfrentarse las parejas del mismo sexo al divorciarse. Las parejas del mismo sexo pueden haber adoptado hijos, recurrido a la gestación subrogada o a la inseminación de donante para tener un hijo, o haber tenido un hijo de una relación anterior. La custodia de los hijos puede ser especialmente complicada si la pareja no adoptó al niño conjuntamente o si uno de los cónyuges no está biológicamente emparentado con el niño. En estos casos, un abogado con experiencia puede ayudar a garantizar que se tenga en cuenta el interés superior del menor y se protejan los derechos legales de la pareja.
Por último, las parejas del mismo sexo pueden sufrir discriminación y prejuicios durante el proceso de divorcio, tanto por parte del sistema judicial como de sus ex parejas. Aunque la legalización del matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo ha supuesto un avance significativo en los derechos del colectivo LGBT, las parejas del mismo sexo siguen enfrentándose a prejuicios y estereotipos que pueden repercutir negativamente en sus procedimientos judiciales. Un abogado con experiencia puede ayudar a proteger a las parejas del mismo sexo de la discriminación y defender sus derechos legales.
En conclusión, el divorcio entre personas del mismo sexo es un proceso jurídico complejo que requiere la orientación de un abogado con experiencia. Las cuestiones jurídicas específicas de las parejas del mismo sexo, como la determinación de la situación jurídica de su matrimonio, la división de bienes, la custodia de los hijos y la discriminación, requieren un conocimiento profundo de la ley y de las circunstancias únicas de cada pareja. Intentar resolver estos problemas sin la ayuda de un abogado puede acarrear un estrés financiero y emocional considerable. Contratar a un abogado con experiencia en divorcios entre personas del mismo sexo puede ayudarle a garantizar que sus derechos legales estén protegidos y que pueda pasar con confianza al siguiente capítulo de su vida.

What Our Clients Say About Us
Our attorneys in Virginia will represent you in divorce, family, business formation, criminal, personal injury & estate planning cases.
Passionate, Fierce and Meticulous
I don’t normally post things and typically stay to myself, but I felt convicted as someone out there may be going through the same thing that I have- fighting for custody/ visitation of your child and can use some direction. There’s a lot of great attorneys/ firms out there and I have spent the money hiring and/ interviewing, but I needed a meticulous, fierce and dynamic one just to have a fighting chance. From the moment I met Attorney Rebecca Thacher, I knew she was the attorney for me. I didn’t feel like a client, I was family. What’s crazy about this….. My case was on a Monday morning, but because I retained her as my lawyer so late, I didn’t give her my information until almost after 4:00 on that Friday. She understood my plea for help and was absolutely fierce in the courtroom citing all my concerns and raised crucial points. I came out victorious. I’m a father and I know what it’s like for a child to be used as a weapon, with Attorney Rebecca Thacher you are not in this alone so please ask for help and retain her.
He’ll Fight For You In The Court Until You Can’t Fight AnymoreI got charged with a possession charge and couldn’t afford a lawyer at the time, so the court appointed Fernando to my case. Whenever you choose to get a court appointed lawyer you’re always taking a risk. Because you’re one of who knows how many clients the court has given him with the same problems. But, Fernando never made me feel like another “body” he’d do basic work for while moving to the next. He’s sincere, he listens, and genuinely wants his clients to succeed. He’ll fight for you in the court until you can’t fight anymore. He was truly a blessing and a great lawyer.
I Always Felt That She Had My Best Interests At Heart
Angela Morehouse at the Irving Law Firm represented me in my divorce and for the guardianship/conservatorship of my mother. Her and her paralegal are not only professional but thorough in their representation.

I would highly recommend Angela and the firm and wouldn’t hesitate to retain them in the future if the need arises.

Has Been Fully Engaged In Working My Case From The Moment He Was Assigned!
A fantastic firm. I have used them for both criminal defense and civil law and cannot recommend them enough. For my civil case I was awarded significantly more than I thought I would be getting and it came in a very timely manner. Fernando, who is handling my criminal case, is amazing. He has been fully engaged in working my case from the moment he was assigned. He is trustworthy, provides honest assessments of situations, and has proven himself invaluable to me. In this very trying time he has also shown that he actually cares about my case and it’s outcome. I’m so grateful he’s on my side and I have recommended him to a number of friends and family members. If you need a lawyer this entire firm seems to be absolutely top notch.
He Delivered On Everything He Promised!
Mark B. was amazing! He delivered on everything he promised. He prepared me for worst case scenario and had a great plan from the beginning. Luckily he was able to get all charges dropped. He’s a very busy guy but never made me feel like he rushed anything. I usually do not like dealing with lawyers, but he’s a rare breed. He’s very professional, personable and likable. Best of all he charged me a flat fee up front. I owe that guy everything. Least I could do is leave a great review. I would definitely recommend him, and use his talents again if needed.
