Westchester, NY family law attorney Andrea B. Friedman talks about the unique issues that arise in same sex divorce. She notes that while the law has become increasingly supportive of same-sex divorce, a common issue arises concerning children—particularly when the child was not born during the marriage. In such cases, there is no automatic presumption that both spouses are legal parents. Consequently, the primary complexity for same-sex couples often involves establishing legal rights and responsibilities when only one spouse is the biological parent, ensuring that both have recognized legal standing regarding the child or children.
