Houston LGBTQ+ Family Lawyers

Family Lawyers Serving Houston’s LGBTQ+ Community Since 2003

On June 25, 2015, the US Supreme Court made same-sex marriages legal in all 50 states with their ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges. In addition to granting the LGBTQ community greater constitutional rights, it also gave rise to a host of family law issues, including those relating to divorce, parental rights, and child custody of same-sex parents.

For instance, many same-sex couples mistakenly believe being legally married means the non-biological parent will be recognized as the presumptive parent of any child(ren) born during their marriage. While this may be true in some states, it is not true in Texas. In order to protect the parent-child relationship in Texas, the non-biological parent in a same-sex marriage must legally adopt his/her child(ren).

Our lawyers can help guide you through the legal processes necessary to achieve a sense of security that your family has the same legal rights and protections enjoyed by opposite-sex married couples.
