Same-Sex Divorce — Frequently Asked Questions

Are same-sex divorces handled the same as other divorces in Virginia? +
Yes. Since Obergefell v. Hodges (2015), same-sex marriages are recognized equally under Virginia law, and all Virginia divorce statutes apply equally to same-sex couples.

What about children from our marriage? +
Both legally adopted parents have equal parental rights. Biological parentage and non-biological parent rights in same-sex relationships can be more complex — Ms. Khan addresses these issues carefully.

Does the pre-2015 period of our relationship count for property division? +
This can be a complex issue. Property acquired before Virginia legally recognized your marriage may be treated differently. Ms. Khan analyzes your specific timeline and assets carefully.

Is our relationship with Ms. Khan confidential? +
Absolutely. All attorney-client communications are strictly confidential, and Ms. Khan’s office is a welcoming, non-judgmental environment for all clients.
