It goes without saying that many family legal matters–such as divorce or establishing custody–are hardly easy. What’s more? Prior to recent decades, interracial, LGBT, and other minority couples faced additional obstacles when looking to marry or celebrate their relationships, including having to fight for the right of marriage equality. With current times as uncertain as they have become, we want clients and potential clients alike to know we have their backs. In today’s blog, your Milford, CT attorneys discuss the LGBT family services we offer and what
LGBT Family Law
In 2015, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled same-sex marriage legal in all 50 states. It was a landmark decision that signified a major victory for the LGBT community. Though currently still upheld, these rights are at risk of attack during these uncertain times in the United States. Not only does our office understand the complexities of the family law process, but we recognize the unique struggles our clients are experiencing in the form of discrimination, mistreatment, and bigotry.
In the state of Connecticut, several legal documents and other resources exist for LGBT couples wanting to safeguard their relationship. Among these include relationship agreements or contracts, documents designating a non-legally related ddult to have specific rights and responsibilities, power of attorney forms, appointment of a conservator, designated healthcare representative, and more. Give our office a call to schedule a free consultation.
Connecticut Parentage Act
Another law governing Connecticut family law includes the Connecticut Parentage Act. One of the key provisions of The CPA is the update to Connecticut parentage laws for greater inclusivity, ultimately updating the state’s legal framework for determining parentage. It also ensures that children have clear and secure path to legal parentage, including those with unmarried, same-gender, or non-biological parents.
