Same-Sex Divorce

The Supreme Court’s Obergefell v. Hodges decision in 2015 gave same-sex couples equal marriage rights to those that different-sex couples in the United States have. This includes the right to end a marriage through divorce. However, because the laws of so many states denied same-sex couples marriage rights for so long, divorce can be an ordeal due to unique issues that often arise.

Only a few years have passed since the United States Supreme Court made a landmark decision overturning the state bans on same-sex marriage. As you may know, Florida was one of the states that had passed such a ban. All of these bans are now unconstitutional, effectively legitimizing same-sex marriage across the country.
