Same-Sex Divorce Laws in Texas
Same-sex marriage was legalized in the state of Texas in 2015, thus making same-sex divorces less complicated than what it once used to be. Now, the process for same-sex couples who divorce in Texas is the same as opposite-sex couples who divorce.
A same-sex couple can obtain a divorce just as any other couple would, and must abide by the same regulations, such as ensuring that the divorce takes place in the county where at least one member of the same-sex couple resides.
Representing Yourself vs. Hiring an Attorney for Same-Sex Divorce
While it’s possible to represent yourself in a same-sex divorce, it’s not always recommended. The complications of divorce, especially when matters of custody, support, and/or property are involved, can make it difficult to effectively represent yourself, let alone protect your best interests throughout the divorce process.
If you can answer “yes” to any of the following questions, you should hire a lawyer to represent you in your same-sex divorce case:
- Has your spouse already hired a divorce lawyer or are they considering hiring a divorce lawyer?
- Do you anticipate your divorce being contested?
- Do you and your spouse share a child without adoption papers or a court order stating that you are both the legal parents of the child?
- Do you and your spouse own a home together?
- Do either you or your spouse own a business that will need to be protected during the divorce?
- Do either you or your spouse have retirement funds or substantial debt that could affect the divorce?

We understand the emotional and financial implications of ending a marriage and we are here to provide you with the legal guidance you need to navigate the divorce process confidently.
