Although gay wedding books seem to be on every bookshelf these days, this is the first title to explain the process of ending a gay relationship. Just like straight couples, gay couples do break up!

The Complete Gay Divorce explains in a straighforward, easy-to-understand language, how to end a civil union, marriage or domestic partnership, as well as your rights concerning the division of assets and debts and the payment of spousal and child support.

And because most gay couples have no formalized union at all, The Complete Gay Divorce explains your rights when you need to end a non-legalized relationship- how to divide belongings and debts, get on your feet financially, and create a plan for living apart. It also explains laws about custody and child support that pertain to gay parents, and gives practical advice to those who may not be considered "legal" parents.

The Complete Gay Divorce not only explains your legal rights, but also shows you how to access and apply them. Its detailed appendices include state laws and forms, as well as listings of helpful support groups.

Includes:

• Deciding if when, and how to end your union
• Navigating the legal, financial, and emotional pitfalls
• Coping during your divorce or split
• What to do when your union may (or may not) be legal
• Finding gay-friendly help and support
• Obtaining closure and moving on with your life
