LGBTQA+ family law is a branch of law that deals with the legal issues affecting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, asexual and other non-heteronormative individuals and families. Some of the common cases that Inner Vision Legal handles are:
LGBTQA+ couples and individuals may face challenges or discrimination when trying to adopt a child, either domestically or internationally. A lawyer can help you navigate the legal process and protect your rights as prospective parents.
Although same-sex marriage is legal in the United States, there may be differences in how state law treats same-sex and opposite-sex couples when it comes to marriage benefits, property division, spousal support, taxes, and other matters. A lawyer can advise LGBTQA+ clients on their rights and obligations as married partners and help them resolve any disputes that may arise during or after a divorce.
LGBTQA+ parents may have complex situations regarding the legal recognition of their relationship with their children, especially if they use assisted reproductive technologies, surrogacy, or donor gametes. A lawyer can help you establish or defend your parental rights and responsibilities, as well as negotiate custody and visitation arrangements that are in the best interests of the children.
LGBTQA+ family law is a dynamic and evolving area of law that reflects the diversity and inclusion of our society. By hiring a lawyer who specializes in this field, LGBTQA+ clients can ensure that their legal needs are met with respect and competence.
