Experienced, Compassionate Guidance For Same-Sex Family Law Matters

Family is no longer defined in the standard “nuclear family” way. The U.S. Supreme Court has officially recognized same-sex marriages, giving same-sex couples the same rights and obligations under the law as opposite-sex married couples.

While same-sex couples now can enjoy the benefits of a legally recognized marriage, it also means that they must formally deal with issues of divorce as well. When faced with difficult decisions about your family, it is important to have advocates in your corner who want what is best for you.

At Akiona Law, PLLC, in Everett, Washington, our attorneys not only have years of experience, but we also work together to help you pursue an effective resolution for your same-sex marriage and divorce issues. We offer uncontested divorce services as well as mediation and collaborative divorce.

Even if your divorce is complex or involves sophisticated assets, our experienced attorneys know how to protect your interests. We prefer to help clients through divorce without a trial as we focus on alternative dispute resolution methods. We have found that they often yield better results for our clients, including fewer legal fees.

At our firm, we take a team approach to family law. Each of our attorneys and staff bring a unique perspective to your case, ensuring we find the right solution to your problem. Call us today at 425-740-2209 to learn more or email us.
