Family Law Attorneys For Same-Sex Couples And LGBT Individuals

In October 2014, the United States Supreme Court denied review of several rulings that various state bans violated the U.S. Constitution. The result is historic: Same-sex couples can now lawfully marry in Virginia as well as in several other states where this was not previously possible.

The legalization of same-sex marriage in Virginia essentially enables same-sex couples to exercise all the same rights as opposite-sex couples that marry. It also means that if you were married in another jurisdiction where same-sex marriage is legal, your marriage is now legally recognized throughout the Commonwealth.

At Lutins & Pilgreen, PC, in Roanoke, Virginia, our lawyers provide complete family law services to same-sex couples and individuals. Whatever legal concerns you have, we offer a initial consultation to answer your questions.

Protecting LGBT Families And Individuals

Virginia law provides many protections to married couples, and LGBT families have the same legal rights and responsibilities as opposite-sex couples. We are prepared to protect your interests in divorce if you were married in another state — or if you need this service down the line. We also provide clear, helpful counsel on matters such as:

  • Adoption for stepparents
  • Prenuptial agreements for couples who are preparing to marry
  • “Re-deeding” of Virginia property to take advantage of joint ownership
  • All key issues to consider if you are preparing to divorce, including equitable distribution of property, spousal support, child custody and visitation
  • Estate planning services to ensure your new family is taken care of
