Going through a divorce is a time for many couples to examine their priorities, and for parents, there’s nothing more important than their children. At Goranson Bain Ausley, our specialized attorneys in gay or lesbian divorce and child custody can help you navigate the intricacies of safeguarding your parental rights if your marriage comes to an end. Our skilled lawyers, specializing in same-sex divorce and child custody, provide compassionate support and legal expertise to clients, working in partnership towards a resolution that prioritizes your family’s best interests.

Why Hire Us for Your Gay or Lesbian Divorce Custody Case?

The experienced divorce lawyers at Goranson Bain Ausley thoroughly understand the legal intricacies associated with gay or lesbian divorce and child custody disputes. While all custody cases can be difficult in different ways, those involving same-sex parents can have an added layer of complexity because both parents are typically not the biological parents of their child or children. If you did not complete a second-parent adoption before the divorce, the judge may favor the biological parent when determining custody. That’s why it’s crucial to work with a family lawyer who has significant experience in same-sex and child custody laws during your divorce. The skilled attorneys at our family law firm can help to ensure that your rights as a parent are recognized and protected.
