Same-sex divorces now allowed in NC!

In Family by GWAO

The short version

Now that North Carolina’s “marriage amendment” has been found to be unconstitutional, same sex marriage licenses have been issued throughout the state.  Congratulations to all the happy couples who are finally able to enjoy the rights and privileges associated with marriage!

On the flip side, same-sex couples who were previously married in another state can now get divorced in North Carolina if they so desire.  Prior to the federal judge’s recent decision, a same-sex couple could not get divorced within our state.

If you have any questions regarding marriage, same-sex marriage, divorce, same-sex divorce, separation, alimony, property division, or child custody rights, contact a North Carolina Family Law Attorney!Need to speak to a lawyer today?  Contact North Carolina Family Law Attorney Jessica Culver, Avvo’s 2014 Family Law Clients’ Choice!
