In both New York and New Jersey; a divorce requires the resolution of both financial and practical issues, including:

For same-sex couples, however, some issues may still require special attention. For example, many LGBT couples may have entered into cohabitation agreements or civil unions before marriage was legalized. These could be used as evidence of their intentions about sharing their property.

Another example is legal parentage: In many same-sex couples, at least one parent is nonbiological. If that parent has not established a legal relationship with the child through adoption or a parentage order, there may be repercussions on child custody and support decisions.
