The Complete Gay Divorce
By Attorney Brette McWhorter Sember, Career Press
Venue:
National - All States
Description:
Although gay wedding books seem to be on every bookshelf
these days, this is the first title to explain the process of
ending a gay relationship. Just like straight couples, gay couples
do break up!
Ending a gay partnership or marriage can be confusing, emotionally
draining, and legally challenging. With the hodgepodge of gay
union laws across the country, it can be difficult to know what
your rights are or where and how to get help dissolving your
committed relationship. The Complete Gay Divorce explains, in
straightforward, easy-to-understand language, how to end a civil
union, marriage, or domestic partnership, as well as your rights
concerning the division of assets and debts and the payment
of spousal and child support. The book also tackles the question
of whether or not you have anything to dissolve if you were
married in a state in which gay marriages were later overturned.
And because most gay couples have no formalized union at
all, The Complete Gay Divorce explains your rights when you
end a non-legalized relationship—how to divide belongings and
debts, get on your feet financially, and create a plan for living
apart. It also explains laws about custody and child support
that pertain to gay parents, and gives practical advice to those
who may not be considered “legal” parents of the children in
the relationship.
The Complete Gay Divorce not only explains your legal rights
but also shows you how to access and apply them— whether in
divorce and family court, small claims court, mediation, or
even at home over the kitchen table. Its detailed appendices
include state laws and forms, as well as listings of helpful
support groups. And because ending a relationship is not just
about bank accounts and court papers, The Complete Gay Divorce
also explains how to cope with the unraveling of your partnership,
find support, and obtain closure during this difficult time
in your life.
