New Jersey Civil Unions Attorneys
New Jersey is at the forefront in the area to same-sex marriage and domestic partnerships. The New Jersey legislature passed an act for civil unions in 2007 that offers all the protections and responsibilities as marriage for same sex couples. The case of Lewis v. Harris reinforced that civil union of same-sex couples is viewed as essentially the equivalent of a traditional marriage.

The issues that arise during the dissolution of a civil union are very similar to those that arise in a traditional divorce. Civil union partners have essentially the same rights and obligations as those in a traditional marriage. There are issues related to equitable distribution including how to divide the assets and who assumes liability for debts. Civil unions also include an obligation to provide support for the other partner which is similar to alimony in a traditional divorce.

Klein has over 30 years experience and his teams of lawyers and paraprofessionals offer clients professional and compassionate legal representation to clients.
