This essay discusses the many challenges that same-sex couples face when divorcing. It is written from the perspective of someone who is not the biological parent of their child, but has been awarded custody of their child in a divorce. The author argues that the courts are biased against the non-biological parent, and that same-sex couples should take note of this bias before making a family. The author also argues that the cost of a same-sex divorce is significantly higher than the cost of a heterosexual divorce.
