Same-sex couples may face individual and institutional bias when both forming a civil union and when dissolving one. Fortunately, New Jersey law offers broad protections.

All the attorneys of our firm are well-versed in the areas of family law affecting same-sex couples, which are rapidly changing, and regularly attend seminars sponsored by the New Jersey Bar Association and the bar association’s LGBT section.
