Supporting all families with compassionate, experienced legal representation
Leaders for LGBTQ+ Family Matters
At Gravis Law, we believe every family, regardless of sexual or gender orientation, deserves exceptional legal support.
Adoption Services
Same-sex couples can adopt jointly or through second-parent adoptions, a process that allows one parent to adopt their partner’s biological or adoptive child without affecting the other parent’s legal status. The National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR) describes this as co-parent adoption, a crucial legal protection for many same-sex families.
Our family law attorneys have extensive experience with the unique challenges LGBTQ+ individuals and couples may face during the adoption process. We are committed to supporting you in your journey to expand your family with care, understanding, and expert guidance.
Child Custody for Same-Sex Parents
When a separation occurs, custody disputes can become complex, particularly if only one partner has legal parenthood. In these situations, it’s vital to work with an experienced attorney who can help you establish and protect your parental rights. This often involves demonstrating the strength of the parent-child relationship, even in the absence of legal or biological ties.
We understand the sensitive nature of these cases and have the experience to create parenting plans tailored to the needs of same-sex parents. Our goal is to advocate for your rights while ensuring the best interests of your child are prioritized.
Divorce for Same-Sex Couples
The legal process for divorce is generally the same for same-sex and opposite-sex couples. However, because the legal landscape surrounding same-sex marriage is still evolving, unique challenges can arise. Our attorneys are familiar with these complexities and are here to provide skilled, compassionate representation.
If you are considering divorce, we can guide you through every step, ensuring your case is handled with the care and dedication you deserve. We aim to achieve the best possible resolution for your unique situation.
