Same-Sex Marriage in Long Island

Family Law Attorney in Long Island

If you have recently been married in the state of New York as a same-sex couple or if you are considering marriage and you are interested in learning more about family law matters as they apply to you, you should speak with a seasoned Long Island family law attorney. At Wisselman, Harounian & Associates, our legal team works with same-sex couples through all family legal matters, including pre/post nuptial agreements, adoptions, wills or will packages, divorce and any other areas of family law necessary.

After New York passed a new piece of legislation, entitled the Marriage Equality Act, same-sex couples are now granted the ability to have a legal marriage with the same state benefits, rights and obligations as opposite sex couples. Since the Federal Government does not recognize same sex marriages so couples are not entitled to federal benefits at this time. If you are a gay, lesbian, bisexual or transvestite individual or couple and you need help with any legal issue related to family law, we would be happy to meet with you for a free consultation to see how we can help you. When you need a lawyer to help to protect your rights, we can offer you the legal assistance that you need.
