Divorce For Same-Sex Couples In Minnesota

The dissolution of marriage can be complicated and emotional for any couple. For same-sex couples, it can often be more complex because of the different marriage laws. With the legalization of same-sex marriage in Minnesota in 2013, many couples find that they were living together and functioning like a married couple before their union was recognized by the state.

However, same-sex marriage is only acknowledged when it became legal, not when a couple begins living as if they are legally married. This means that different rules apply to property acquired before and after the legal marriage.

There can also be different circumstances when it comes to the children of same-sex couples. Though your family may function with two active and equal parents, second-parent adoption or families with only one legal parent can complicate your divorce more.
