LGBT Family Law Basics for Parents and Families

In the last six years since the 2015 Supreme Court’s decision to establish nationwide marriage equality, so much has changed for same-sex couples and parents but we are still fighting to make things better for all families in San Antonio.  As we celebrate Pride Month, we celebrate the legal union of same-sex couples while acknowledging the continual unfair treatment of same-sex families in the court system.

What we stand for

Since the establishment of The Whitley Law Firm in 2013, our attorneys have fought for the well-being of all families in San Antonio.  We are ready to protect all families including those with same-sex parents.

When you are ready for legal representation, we are here to help.  We are prepared to work with your family on common family law issues, cohabitation agreements, same-sex adoption, estate planning, post-nuptial agreements, surrogacy agreements and more.

What we can do for you

Finding the right attorney for your family can take time.  You want to make sure that you are finding an attorney who you can feel comfortable confiding in, someone who understands your family’s dynamics and needs.  Our firm has a reputation of caring for and protecting families through any trials they face.

As you begin to search for the best attorney for your family, it’s important to understand the laws the State of Texas has in place for LGBTQ parents especially involving adoption and fostering.  It is always a good idea to move forward with an attorney who resonates with your family and who will understand your concerns.  And if children are involved, find an attorney who is open to getting to know them.  Making sure that the interests of children of same-sex couples are protected and provided for is just as important as ensuring your own representation.

We understand that LGBTQ parents can run into more obstacles when it comes to fighting for the rights and representation of their family.  Despite same-sex marriage being legal nationwide, some state’s parenting laws can be difficult to understand so having an experienced attorney to navigate you through parenting laws in our State of Texas can ensure that your family has the best legal representation.

Family issues are sensitive and complex and they can get more difficult once issues have escalated to needing an attorney.  The family law attorneys at our firm will work to protect your rights and peace of mind.  Your family deserves to be celebrated and heard!
