NY family law attorney Russel Morgan, Esq. discusses the different issues in an LGBTQ divorce compared to divorce in a traditional marriage. He notes that LGBTQ divorces are, for the most part, similar to traditional divorces, but there are some key differences. Primarily, these cases are relatively new, having existed for less than a decade, which means the case law is limited, especially when litigation involves support, custody, assets, or debt. Additional complexity arises when parties transition from legal partners to spouses, or vice versa, introducing a new set of legal considerations. Despite these nuances, the fundamental processes remain much the same, with the main distinction being the lack of extensive legal precedent for LGBTQ divorces in New York compared to traditional husband-and-wife divorces.
