Evolving Issues in Same Sex Families

At Briar Wilcox Law Firm, PLLC, we know the world is changing. Same sex families face the same issues with child custody and divorce as with a same-sex couple, but there are unique challenges.

In Texas, same-sex couples may have difficulty securing family benefits and completing adoptions. If a same-sex couple divorces, custody and visitation are complicated by the fact that only one parent is the biological parent of the child while that child also maintains a strong bond with the non-biological parent. The best interest of the child still applies but there may be an inherent bias towards the biological parent.

Since Briar Wilcox Law Firm, PLLC takes a client-centered approach, we are well-prepared for these challenges. This is a quickly evolving area of the law and you can feel safe consulting with us when your family faces challenges.
