A recent injunction has allowed same-sex marriage to be
legally recognized in the state of Florida allowing mediator
services such as iMediate Inc, to provide premarital
counseling, marriage and divorce mediation to same gender
couples.
Mar. 02, 2015 - WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Same-sex marriage in Florida became legal on
January 6, 2015, as a result of a temporary injunction issued by a U.S. district court in the case
of Brenner v. Scott, in which the state's previous same-sex marriage ban had been found
unconstitutional.
Under the old law, Title XLIII: Domestic Relations Chapter 741: Statute 741.212, marriage
between two people of the same sex whether they were married within or outside the State of
Florida would not be recognized for any purpose in Floria. The new injuction prevents the state
from enforcing it's ban allowing same-sex marriage to be legally recognized in Florida.
Matthew Brickman recently addressed this landmark case in the following video, as the firm
now opens it's premartial counseling, child custody and divorce mediation services to same-sex
couples.

When asked about what happens to same-sex couples married in a state where the union is
legally recognized who then move to the state of Florida he explained, "(Prior to the

3. w w w . i c h a t m e d i a t i o n . c o m Page 3
injuction)..that left alot of couples in a state of the unknown. Then the first same-sex divorce
came about with a couple that married in 2002 in Vermont and when the relationship ended in
Florida they were stuck in a state of the unknown for five years because there was no
mechanism in play (in Florida) to deal with their divorce."
He went on to say, "Issues of couples within same-sex marriages are the same issues that a man
and woman would encounter which is equitable distribution of property and what do we do
with the child of the marriage. Now there is actually a mechanism in place for them to get
divorced and move on with their lives."
He closed by saying, "It will be interesting to see what the statistics come out with in regards to
the rate of divorce of same-sex couples in comparison to heterosexual couples. In traditional
marriages 50% of first time marriages end in divorce, 65% of second time marriages end in
divorce and the numbers only go higher afterward. So it will be interesting to see if marriages of
same-sex couples last longer or if they have the same divorce rate as heterosexual couples."
