Understanding Same-Sex Divorce in Texas
The year 2015 marked the beginning of a new era for same-sex couples, as the United States Supreme Court officially recognized such unions in all 50 states. This created new opportunities as well as new challenges. While any marrying pair genuinely desires to stay together indefinitely, there’s always the possibility that one or both parties may decide it’s best to separate.
Our Pearland same-sex divorce attorney at The Dieye Firm understands that for members of the LGBTQ+ community, divorce can have special concerns that need to be taken into consideration. We’ve spent years gaining experience in this area of family law to provide knowledgeable representation for our clients.
How Common Is Same-Sex Divorce?

Though LGBTQ+ spouses seem less likely to divorce than their heterosexual counterparts, it’s always best to be prepared for the possibility.

Our Testimonials
Former Clients Share Their Experiences
“If I EVER need an attorney for anything else (within his line of work) I will definitely be contacting Mr. Dieye again.”I had a bad experience with a prior attorney who ended up dropping my divorce/custody case mid way and leaving me high and dry to figure it out for myself. I recieved Papa Dieye's (Jay) information from a family friend. Papa Jay is always on top of things and was very prompt with returning phone calls and keeping me in the loop. 2 days after I obtained his legal services we were already in court finalizing my divorce! I have already referred Papa Jay to a handful of people and if I EVER need an attorney for anything else (within his line of work) I will definitely be contacting Mr. Dieye again. Needless to say it was a very pleasant experience and Mr. Dieye is super nice.- Kaylyn
