Gay and Lesbian Issues

Los Angeles Same Sex Marriage Lawyer

California is one of the leading states when it comes to affording gay and lesbian couples equal rights and opportunities. Under current California law, gay couples in a cohabitation arrangement are afforded many of the same rights that heterosexual married couples enjoy. Many of the same rights — but obviously not all. If you do not have a legal cohabitation agreement, you may not be entitled to community property or equal custody and visitation arrangements if you decide to dissolve your relationship.

As a Los Angeles palimony and family law attorney for more than 25 years, I have witnessed significant changes in the way Southern California judges interpret property rights for gay and lesbian couples. Lawsuits relating to individual property and community property are complex and are handled outside of family law courts.

If you are an individual with significant financial assets at risk, it is important to have an experienced palimony attorney fighting for your rights. I am nationally recognized as one of Southern California's leading palimony and domestic partnership lawyers.
