Same Sex Divorce
Poughkeepsie Same-Sex Divorce Lawyers
Serving Same-Sex Couples in the Hudson Valley
In July 2011, the Marriage Equality Act became the law in New York. The Act allows same-sex couples to get married and enjoy the same rights that opposite-sex couples have always had. Of course, the right to marriage also implies the right to divorce. Like heterosexual couples, same-sex couples wishing to end their marriage will need the help of skilled, reliable divorce lawyers.
At Ostertag O'Leary Barrett & Faulkner, we handle divorce for clients in the Hudson Valley, regardless of sexual orientation. Our attorneys have more than 90 years of combined experience practicing family law, and we are committed to finding workable solutions to divorce and all of its related issues.

Solutions for All Same-Sex Divorce Issues
Now that New York law gives equal rights to all couples, the issues that are involved in a same-sex divorce are the same as those presented in opposite-sex divorce cases. Our skilled attorneys can help you resolve things like:
Some gay and lesbian couples may have signed a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement that outlines how some of these issues should be decided. In these cases, we will analyze the agreement and make sure your rights are protected.
We encourage same-sex couples to think about using collaborative divorce rather than traditional litigation. The collaborative process empowers spouses and encourages cooperation, which often leads to a more satisfying outcome for everyone involved.
