La Mesa Same-Sex Divorce Lawyer

Representing LGBT Couples in Lemon Grove, El Cajon & La Mesa

Divorce can be a stressful and emotionally taxing process. As a La Mesa same-sex divorce attorney, I am here to guide you through the entire process.

When it comes to divorce for same-sex couples, it is important to understand California's laws. For instance, even if a partnership is not defined legally as a marriage, the state can still grant a divorce or dissolution. This is important when considering the division of assets and debts.

I offer legal representation to same-sex couples in the following areas:

Call (619) 304-8499 for experienced counsel and compassionate support through your same-sex divorce. I can provide the quality representation you need.

Divorce for Non-Resident Same-Sex Partners

California requires opposite-sex partners to be residents to file for divorce. This requirement does not apply to same-sex partnerships. Therefore, if you entered into a domestic partnership while living outside of California and are seeking a divorce, you are able to do so even if you are current residents of a state that does not recognize divorce for same-sex partnerships.

You are required to file for divorce in the county where you were married, however. This may make it difficult to complete the process if one, or both of you, are living outside of the state, thus making it wise to seek the services of an experienced La Mesa same-sex divorce lawyer who can help you throughout every step.

Seeking Mediation May Be Your Best Option

Mediation allows for an amicable resolution where both parties can feel satisfied in the outcome. I provide this service for individuals who feel as if an out-of-court resolution is the best option.

Furthermore, if one, or both of you, are living outside of the state, it is highly recommended that you seek mediation services to avoid costly travel bills, court fees, and the time associated with a contested divorce in court.

Interested in finding out how I can help? For a free 10- to 15-minute phone consultation, give me a call at (619) 304-8499.

    "Amazing!"

    Amazing! Even though she wasn’t able to take my case (which is understandable) she was very helpful by referring me to someone who could assist me. She still took her time out to make sure I was in good hands and to get the help that is needed. Very satisfied.

    - DeAsia L.
    "Thank you Andrea!"
    I'm in search for a divorce attorney that will not drag out a case unnecessarily and that will strive for out-of-court settlements, so when I came across Andrea Schneider's website and read how she approaches each case, I was very impressed. So I contacted Andrea instantly and left her a message after hours. To my surprise, she replied to me that same evening. Unfortunately, Andrea isn't taking any new divorce cases at this time but she definitely didn't hesitate in referring me to two other attorneys. Andrea is a very professional, organized, and caring attorney! Thank you Andrea!

    "Thanks so much, Ms. Schneider"
    Just this week I reached out to Ms. Schneider about my situation. She was extremely helpful although she was unable to take on my case due to her current workload. Nonetheless, she was gracious enough to take the time to contact another attorney on my behalf and within a couple hours, she provided me with their contact information. I was then able to schedule my consultation. Thanks so much, Ms. Schneider.
