NYC same-sex divorce attorney Juan Luciano (https://divorcelawfirmnyc.com/same-sex-divorce-attorney-new-york/) releases a new article explaining how LGBTQ divorce occurs in New York City. In the article, the lawyer mentions that New York's Marriage Equality Act was passed on July 24, 2011, and recognized same-sex marriage.

"The rest of the country followed, granting same-sex couples the same legal rights as heterosexual married couples when it came to marriage. These also gave them the same legal rights to dissolve their marriage as their heterosexual counterparts,” the NYC same-sex divorce attorney says.

The lawyer adds that if a couple is legally married, they can also file for an uncontested or contested divorce. Same-sex divorce is as complicated and difficult for heterosexual couples as it can be under New York law.

According to the divorce lawyer, "Under New York law, in the case of a divorce, marital assets, property, and debts are divided through equitable distribution. Marital assets are those which are acquired during the marriage. Under our equitable distribution laws, these assets are apportioned by the court considering many things, including the length of the marriage."

Attorney Luciano states that marriage equality acts are new. This could be due to assets that were owned by the couple prior to their marriage. This doesn't mean the property will automatically be divided equally among couples that have been married many years.

The lawyer mentions that property division can be a problem in same-sex marriages. Separate property that isn't addressed prior to marriage can make it difficult for the couple to consider their marital status. It is possible that a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement was not in place. This can make it more difficult for the couple to settle financial disagreements during the divorce.

Lastly, the same-sex divorce attorney Juan Luciano emphasizes that it is very important to have a skilled divorce lawyer when going through a divorce. Some processes in a divorce may be complicated and tough to navigate. Having an experienced lawyer may be able to help the client understand their rights.
