If you are involved in a divorce or civil union dissolution that involves a maintenance claim, contact Jill M. Metz & Associates today. We will carefully advise you of your rights and work diligently to provide the effective and highly personalized representation you deserve.
Civil Union Maintenance Claims
Many lesbian and gay individuals do not understand that their significant other may seek maintenance in a civil union dissolution proceeding. This issue requires same-sex couples who were married or civil unioned in another state or country and have now broken up, but not formally dissolved their marriage or civil union, to seek a legal dissolution of their relationship as soon as possible. Illinois Civil Union laws give same-sex couples that have entered into a civil union the same rights and responsibilities of married couples. Accordingly, civil union spouses may request or be ordered to pay maintenance for a limited duration or for an extended duration.
Whether you are seeking maintenance or opposing a maintenance claim, it is critical that you retain an experienced family law attorney. We encourage you to contact Jill M. Metz & Associates. For more than 30 years, our lawyers have been providing professional legal services in a warm and friendly environment. We pride ourselves on providing effective legal services to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals and couples.
