Family is an important support system, institution, and sense of belonging for various people, and nothing quite beats those types of bonds. Further, family can extend to mean more than just bonds established through biological means. It can be those created between two close friends, through adoption, and more. Though it is expected that family should mean the same across all fronts, there are certain populations that may face more difficulty and complications when it comes to family law matters. In today’s blog, your Milford, CT attorneys explore what is covered under LGBT family law in the state of Connecticut, as well as how our team can help.
Adoption and Parenting Rights
It goes without saying that family law in and of itself is an umbrella term given to various legal matters that involve familial and relational situations. As you can imagine, this can extend to pretty much anything and everything one could imagine. Indeed, our office sees many cases involving parenting rights and adoption, and no two cases are similar.
Though adoption should be a joyous and happiness-filled occasion, that does not mean the legal side of things are simple. As a matter of fact, there are many elements to adoption matters, and believe it or not, some family characteristics are wrongfully processed in a discriminatory manner.
In addition to adoption, parenting rights such as custody agreements, parenting agreements, and more also look at various things to determine qualifications, and ensuring every step is followed properly is a process that requires great attention to detail. For more information about setting up adoption and parenting rights, give our team a call today.
Marital Responsibilities
Another element of LGBT family law includes establishing marital roles and responsibilities through premarital agreements. Prenups in the past have taken on a negative connotation, but in actuality, they can be an excellent way to establish marital rights, responsibilities, and expectations when entering a union.
For some, establishing these rights and requests in a reasonable manner is best pursued through a premarital agreement, and our team is more than happy to help you learn more about your options. Contact our team to learn more today.
Unions and Separations
Finally, LGBT family law oversees LGBT unions and separations as well. Choosing to spend the rest of your life with someone is a big step in your relationship, but sometimes things do not work out. Both processes are emotional in their own unique ways, and our team can help you go through the process as smoothly and painlessly as possible.
