Domestic Partnerships

Broward County Family Law Attorney

Even though Florida has no civil union or domestic partnership laws on the books, same-sex couples and their children live, play, and work every day in just the same ways that "traditional" families do. They can also have many of the same legal problems too. And while you may not be able to "get a divorce" in legal terms, there are many other aspects of family law that do apply to gay and lesbian households.
