SAME-SEX DIVORCE

The recent U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage across the nation was a cause for celebration for many.  Unfortunately, the right to marry does not guarantee a happy, enduring marriage. The Bloom Firm represents individuals in same-sex marriages contemplating or undergoing a divorce.

Divorce can be one of the most stressful times in your life. Not only does divorce affect your emotional well-being, but it also affects your family, your social life and your finances.

We are experienced divorce attorneys who understand that your life is undergoing dramatic changes. We support our clients in every way we can. We understand the stress you’re under and we will work hard to help you persevere through this major life transition.

You may have a Hollywood image of a divorce attorney, but the reality is far different. Though we engage in classic courtroom litigation and zealously protect and defend our clients’ legal rights, we do much more than that. We take the time to listen to our clients and learn about their families, professional lives, finances, and future plans. We lay the legal groundwork for our clients’ future and do everything we can to ensure it’s a bright one.

Most divorce cases do not reach a resolution through court room battles – they are resolved through negotiation and/or mediation. The Bloom Firm’s divorce attorneys are skilled in the art of negotiation and experienced with using mediation as a tool to help our clients achieve their goals.

We do the unglamorous work of investigating the finances of both parties to ensure that our clients receive their fair share of assets and that an equitable amount of spousal or child support is agreed upon. If children are involved, we work with our clients to ensure that the best interests of the children are met.

A relationship between ex-spouses often continues after a divorce. Disagreements concerning spousal or child support can arise and couples may need to return to court. We continue to work for our clients in these ongoing post-divorce order proceedings.

If your marriage is nearing its end, contact The Bloom Firm so we can talk to you about the issues you face, the applicable laws and the ways that we can help you move on and revitalize your life.
