Issues Commonly Addressed in Same Sex Divorce

While the legal principles are the same, same sex divorces sometimes involve added layers of complexity. That can include questions about when the legal marriage began (especially for long-term couples who married before the Supreme Court’s 2015 ruling), or how to handle non-biological parent rights in custody cases.

We routinely assist with matters involving:

  • Property and asset division
  • Child custody and visitation
  • Child support and parental rights
  • Spousal support (alimony)
  • Retirement and investment account division
  • Disputes over jointly owned businesses or real estate

If you're concerned about fairness, legal recognition, or how the courts will view your case, we’ll walk you through the details and help you understand your rights under Texas law.

What to Know Before Filing

Many same sex couples have questions at the start of the divorce process. We take the time to answer them so that you can make clear and confident choices.

Here are some common questions we address for our same-sex clients:

  • Can we use mediation instead of going to court?
    Absolutely. We help many same sex couples resolve their divorces through mediation, which can be less stressful and more private.
  • Do I need an attorney if the divorce is amicable?
    Yes. Even in agreed divorces, a lawyer can make sure that your rights are protected and agreements are legally sound.
  • What if we lived together long before marriage?
    This may affect how property is divided. We’ll work with you to establish the timeline and fight for fair treatment.
  • Can I seek custody if I’m not the biological parent?
    Possibly. Texas allows courts to consider the role you’ve played in the child’s life. We can help you make your case.
  • Does Texas treat same sex divorces differently?
    No. Legally, same sex marriages are handled the same as any other marriage, but unique facts can impact how issues are decided.

At Heiman Law Firm, we believe everyone deserves divorce representation that respects their story and protects their future. Whether your case is straightforward or complicated, we’re here to guide you with clarity, compassion, and experience that makes a difference.
