FAQs: Same Sex Marriage Divorce
How is property divided during a same-sex divorce?
Assets acquired during the marriage are usually divided equally, unless specific circumstances require a different approach. Each situation considers the financial contributions of both partners, financial needs, and future financial security.
What happens to pensions and retirement benefits in a same-sex divorce?
Pensions and retirement benefits accrued during marriage are treated as marital assets. They can be divided via pension sharing orders or offsetting agreements, depending on individual circumstances and negotiation outcomes.
Can mediation help resolve my divorce disputes without court?
Yes, mediation provides a neutral, informal environment aimed at reaching mutually beneficial agreements about financial settlements, childcare arrangements, and other key concerns, often avoiding lengthy and costly court proceedings.
Do I have parental rights for my partner’s biological child?
Parental rights depend on legal parental responsibility provisions such as adoption or parental orders obtained. Our team guides you through options to secure legal rights and responsibilities toward children involved in the relationship.
What if my marriage took place outside of the UK?
If your marriage is legally recognised in the jurisdiction where it occurred, it typically will also be recognised within the UK, allowing you to pursue divorce proceedings within UK courts.
