In Massachusetts, the only difference between a hetero and same sex divorce is the gender of the people involved. Legally, the marriages are recognized to be exactly the same and spouses face the same concerns in a divorce.

However, there are issues that come into play in same sex marriages due to a variety of unique circumstances. If you have been in a long-term relationship that was only recently recognized as a marriage, you are obviously in a different situation than a newly married couple. In these cases, it is important to establish when the “marriage” began in a factual way.

Trying to determine when a marriage began in fact, as opposed to law, can be very difficult. We are here to help our clients find solutions and simplify the process, not make things more complicated with fighting.

In the end, same sex couples and other non-traditional families have to deal with the same factors as every other family during a divorce or partnership dissolution. As a dedicated divorce lawyer, Maria C. Crocker will be there to help you understand your rights and obligations in the following areas:
