Family Law Attorney For Same-Sex Couples And LGBTQ+ Individuals
Same-sex couples and LGBTQ+ individuals deserve the same rights and protections as everyone else. Fortunately, historic United States Supreme Court rulings in 2014 helped to secure these rights. The legalization of same-sex marriage in Virginia ensures that same-sex couples have the same rights as opposite-sex couples in marriage and divorce. 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, we provide complete family law services to same-sex couples and individuals throughout Virginia. Our experienced family lawyer has been practicing law since 1993, and can help you understand your rights and secure your interests.
Protecting LGBTQ+ Families And Individuals
Virginia law provides many protections to married couples, and LGBTQ+ 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
- Marital agreements such as a prenuptial agreement for couples who are preparing to marry or a postnuptial agreement for couples who are already married
- “Re-titling” of Virginia property to take advantage of joint ownership
- All key issues to consider if you are preparing to divorce, including the equitable distribution of property, spousal support, child custody and visitation
- Estate planning services to protect your new family
As the legal landscape for LGBTQ+ couples continues to change, it is vital to work with a family lawyer who has the flexibility to adapt and the ongoing dedication to fight for you. At Lutins & Pilgreen, PC, you can count on a welcoming atmosphere, custom-tailored representation, an unflagging dedication to your best interests and fierce advocacy to protect your rights.
