Las Vegas Same-Sex Divorce Lawyer
Is Gay Marriage Legal in Nevada?
Same-sex marriage is legal in the state of Nevada. The Supreme Court held in Obergefell v. Hodges that states must (1) issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples and (2) recognize lawful out-of-state marriages between same-sex couples. In 2014. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals struck down Nevada’s ban on same-sex marriage as unconstitutional, thus allowing same-sex marriage certificates to be issued. Now, same-sex couples can enjoy the rights, responsibilities, and benefits of opposite-sex couples who obtain a marriage license.
Whether you’re looking to pursue a marriage or domestic partnership, it’s important to have a legal advocate on your side who can and will fight for your rights.
