The state of Massachusetts has been on the cutting edge of LGBT rights, having declared same-sex marriages legal in With the advent of such marriages, however, have come certain challenges when it comes to divorce. The matter of child custody and visitation can be complicated if the non-biological parent never formally adopted the biological child of his or her spouse born during the marriage. This can be even more complicated if a parent had the child through surrogacy or sperm or egg donation.
Per current federal law, if you were legally married as an LGBT couple, divorce should be available to you in any state. However, you will still have to resolve all issues β such as the division of marital property and debts, child custody and parenting plans, child support, and spousal support.
