Legal Advice for Same-Sex Partners and Couples—Syracuse, New York
Although "gay marriage" is not legal in New York, gay couples sometimes need legal advice related to their partnership. Same-sex couples who cohabit as one household or who were married in other states (Massachusetts, Vermont or Iowa, for example) or in Canada often require legal assistance with various aspects of their partnership, including:
- Cohabitation agreements
- Property ownership contracts
- Joint home purchase
- Child custody and visitation arrangements
- Child support
- Adoption
- Separation agreements
- Division of assets upon dissolution of a partnership
- Estate planning
- Health care directives
