Civil Unions

Chicago, Illinois Civil Union Lawyer

Serving residents of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall and Lake Counties
On June 1, 2011, the Illinois Religious Freedom Protection and Civil Unions Act was established, and it passed legislation that allows same-sex couples in a civil union to be provided with the same state-level rights that married couples have. There are not many states that recognize civil unions or same-sex marriage and in fact, the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) only recognizes heterosexual marriages.

There are many laws that are conflicting when it comes to civil unions, which is why you will need experienced Illinois divorce attorney, Martin Osinski, who has provided representation to clients of same-sex civil unions during dissolution. He represents clients when there are difficult custody matters or complex financial situations and helps to protect his client’s property and custody rights to get the best outcome possible.
