How do I file a civil union divorce for gay couple who are living in different states?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Ronald L Bornstein (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Ronald Bornstein, Attorney at Law
Florida does not recognize gay marriage, and therefore will not grant a divorce to a couple lawfully married in a state that does recognize gay marriage. If the state in which you presently does not recognize gay marriage, and therefore offer gay divorce, your options are limited. If the state in which your former partner resides does recognize it, you may be able to work out an agreement and then invoke the jurisdiction of the court in his state based upon their residency there (if they meet the residency requirements). If neither of you reside in a state that recognizes gay marriage and therefore gay divorce, it is more complicated. You should consult with an attorney.

If purchased property prior to divorce summons common property?

Renea Overstreet
Answered by attorney Renea Overstreet
Divorce lawyer at The Overstreet Law Firm
In Texas, all property is considered community property if it was acquired during the marriage unless it was acquired by gift, devise (granted through a Will) or descent (inherited without a Will). Thus, if the property is purchased while the couple is still married, it will be considered commuinty property even if the couple is separated. However, either party can request that any property be awarded 100% to the party in a divorce proceeding. Also, couples who have been separated for a long time often come to an agreement on how property will be divided. If there is no agreement, the court has a duty to make a just and right division of all community property. When couples are separated for a long time, it is possible to make an argument as to why getting 100% of certain property is just and right. However, it is up to the court to make the ultimate decision on property division if the parties cannot come to an agreement.

What will I be entitled to in a divorce if we have a prenup?

Robert Jensen 'Bob' Matlock
Answered by attorney Robert Jensen 'Bob' Matlock (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Mackoy, Hernandez, Jones and Woods LLP
It is not possible to give you a definite answer to your question because it is entirely dependent upon the language of the prenup agreement. I suggest you hire a lawyer to review the document and give you advice concerning the specifics of your situation.
