Notas del episodio
From Juan Luciano Divorce Lawyer - Common LGBTQ+ Divorce Questions in the Bronx, New York examines the unique legal issues that same-sex couples may encounter when divorcing in New York, including marriage date recognition, premarital assets, prior civil unions or domestic partnerships, and non-biological parentage.
This podcast description highlights how Juan Luciano Divorce Lawyer represents LGBTQ+ clients throughout the Bronx in matters involving property division, maintenance, custody, and parentage, working closely with each client to address the legal and practical issues that can arise in a same-sex divorce. Listeners will learn how New York recognizes valid same-sex marriages under the Marriage Equality Act and Domestic Relations Law, and how civil unions or domestic partnerships may require a separate dissolution process rather than a standard divorce.
The discussion also covers how New York, as an equitable distribution state, divides marital property fairly rather than equally, and why premarital cohabitation can complicate how assets are classified in an LGBTQ+ divorce. It further explains how spousal support, known as maintenance in New York, is determined, and how the length of a marriage can be affected by when a couple's civil marriage date is officially recognized, as illustrated in Mackoff v. Bluemke-Mackoff, where the Appellate Division, Second Department addressed the application of New York's Marriage Equality Act.
Listeners seeking to understand their rights and next steps in a Bronx same-sex divorce will find this guide helpful for navigating marriage recognition, property division, spousal support, and custody questions involving non-biological parents, straight from Juan Luciano Divorce Lawyer.
