Union Same-Sex Couple Attorney
The civil union law enacted in 2006 provides same-sex couples with most of the rights granted to married couples. But what happens when the partners in a civil union want to dissolve the union? They must achieve that dissolution through a court order and resolve other issues involving children and property, just as in a divorce.
Attorney John B. D'Alessandro is experienced in all aspects of the civil dissolution process. Mr. D'Alessandro works diligently to achieve a dissolution as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible, while protecting the rights of his clients.

Issues Involving Property and Children
John B. D'Alessandro will carefully examine the issues between you and your partner that require legal solutions. Separate property (property you had prior to entering into your civil union, and inheritances and gifts) must be identified as distinct from property you and your partner acquired during the civil union. Any property acquired by you or your partner during the course of your civil union must be valued and divided on some basis. If there are children and one of the partners did not formally adopt them, that partner may want to seek visitation rights.
John B. D'Alessandro has more than 20 years of experience in property division and child custody matters. Mr. D'Alessandro understands both the legal aspects and the personal importance of these family law matters. Our firm will act with determination to protect your rights and achieve your goals.
You can take measures to protect your assets and avoid disputes over property in the event of the dissolution of your civil union. John B. D'Alessandro can draft a civil union agreement that specifies what assets are to be considered separate property if you ever break up with your partner.
