Columbia LGBT Lawyer in Columbia, SC

Committed to Protecting the Rights of Same Sex Couples

At Carrie A. Warner, Attorney at Law, we provide innovative legal services for individuals involved in gay or lesbian relationships to ensure that their children and assets are protected to the fullest extent under the law. Whether you are seeking adoption to grow your family, want to create a prenuptial agreement, or are facing a divorce, our Columbia LGBT family lawyers are fully committed to representing you and helping you realize your goals.

Gay couples can file joint tax returns as married, both federally and statewide—and each spouse may list the other as a beneficiary on their State and federal retirement accounts. A married spouse can now have equal say in medical and financial decision making on behalf of their significant other.

In addition, spouses can inherit from the other according to State law, and they may list one another on his or her health insurance policy. Spouses are also ensured federal benefits as a result of the death (of the other spouse), whether it be VA benefits, and military retirement.
