The U.S. Supreme Court has Legalized Same Sex Marriage in all 50 states, Creating More Rights for Same Sex Couples with Children. This Decision is Akin to Rulings Like Roe v. Wade in Terms of Historical Significance.

Austin, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/10/2015 -- The Supreme Court declared on Friday, June 26 in a landmark 5-4 decision that same sex couples have a right to marry anywhere in the United States. Gay and lesbian couples had marriage rights in 36 states as well as the District of Columbia. Friday's ruling means same sex marriage bans must be lifted in the remaining 14 states.

Same sex couples are now free to get married where they please. More importantly, the ruling helps children with parents in same sex relationships.

According to Austin, Texas family law attorney, Cristi Trusler, "This is an important win for protecting and supporting our nations children of same sex couples."

Children of same sex couples have been left in limbo because their parents couldn't be legally married; and in many cases left without child support when same sex couples split up or even when a parent dies because adoption was not an option, so one parent had no legal rights (or duties). The ruling is also a win for same sex adoptions.

Trusler said, "Same sex marriage is just the tip of the iceberg. The right to get married gives same sex couples access to a lot of the rights heterosexual couples have enjoyed for many years."

And according to Trusler, same sex marriage will help with estate planning and income taxes because same sex couples will now get the benefit of a marriage exemption. This will also lead to inheritance rights for married same sex couples.

While everyone is excited about same sex marriages, the ruling inevitably means that same sex couples will also divorce when and where they please if the situation requires it.

Newly Released Study Explains How Social Media Use Can Cause Relationship Trouble and Ultimately Lead to Divorce

Austin, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/05/2015 -- A newly released study, conducted by U.K. law firm Slater and Gordon, shows that out of 2,000 married individuals, one in seven would consider a divorce due to how their spouse was behaving on social media, while an additional 17 percent admitted that they quarrelled with their spouse every day about social media activity. Austin divorce lawyer Cristi Trusler confirms that use of social media can increase stress on troubled marriages.

And according to Trusler, for couples whose divorce is already imminent, social media use can often fan the flames to create bigger issues.

"We occasionally see situations where inappropriate or excessive social media use is a root cause of divorce. However, much more frequently we see people that go on to social media sites like Facebook to vent their frustrations about their spouse's behavior or about the situation they find themselves in. This is never a good idea. It ends up making both individuals look bad," said Trusler.

The study also shows that 58 percent of respondents admitted to knowing their spouses passwords to various social media sites, even if their spouse had no idea about it. Trusler says, "Unless your spouse has specifically given you his or her password and permission, accessing their social media account is a crime."

As an experienced Austin divorce attorney with Trusler Legal PLLC, Cristi Trusler has seen social media become a bigger factor in many divorces cases. In most instances when it comes to an issue, the individual sharing on social media didn't think about how their actions would affect the outcome of their case.

"When it comes to divorces cases and social media, the bottom line is that individuals should think before they post," said Trusler. "They should not assume that what they write or share will be private. I tell my clients that when you're posting something on a social network, you need to assume that your spouse's lawyer and the Judge might see all of it."
