Same-Sex Divorce Lawyer In Worcester

Massachusetts has always been a leader on same-sex marriage: Our state supreme court, in Goodridge v. Department of Public Health, decided that prohibiting gay marriage was unconstitutional back in 2004, a full decade before same-sex marriage was legalized nationwide. The Goodridge decision made Massachusetts one of only six locations worldwide to allow same-sex couples to marry, marking a huge victory for the strong LGBTQIA+ communities in Boston, Provincetown, and the rest of Massachusetts.Of course, with the opportunity to marry has come the burden of divorce. Same-sex and LGBTQIA+ couples have not been immune to the possibility of their marriage ending in divorce. What has become clear over the last decade, however, is that LGBTQIA+ and same-sex couples sometimes face special challenges in divorce and child custody cases that are not present in “traditional” divorce cases. As we explain, below, LGBTQIA+ family law cases involve several unique nuances that must be considered by LGBT clients and their attorneys.We are an LGBTQIA+ friendly and gay-friendly law firm. If you and your spouse are considering a divorce, reach out to our same-sex divorce attorneys at The Law Office of Polly Tatum at (774) 366-3688.
