Archive for the ‘Family Law’ CategoryThe financial and social benefits afforded to individuals who can legally marry vs. same-sex couples who cannot legally marry in FloridaTuesday, January 11th, 2011In early February 2011, the State of Illinois became one of a handful of States to grant same-sex couples a broad array of legal rights and responsibilities similar to those of marriage.
