LGBTQ Family Law Lawyers in Alpharetta, GA Compassionately Serving Clients in Need

The world is gradually becoming more accepting of people who identify as LGBTQ+. Nevertheless, members of the LGBTQ+ community still face unique legal challenges when it comes to family law. Because the traditional family unit does not always apply to LGBTQ+ individuals, the process of divorce, child custody, and other related matters can be complicated.

If you identify as LGBTQ+ and need legal assistance with a family law issue, it’s important to seek out an attorney who is experienced in handling these types of cases. At Hecht Family Law, we have helped many clients in the LGBTQ+ community with a variety of different family law-related issues. We understand the unique challenges that you may be facing, and we will work diligently to help you achieve a favorable outcome in your case.

Some of the specific areas of law that we can assist you with include:

  • Divorce
  • Child custody
  • Child support
  • Alimony/spousal support
  • Adoption

We understand that dealing with any type of family law issue can be emotionally difficult. When you work with our firm, we will provide you with the compassionate, individualized legal representation that you deserve.

What Are Common LGBTQ Family Law Issues?

There are a number of common legal issues that arise for LGBTQ families. These can include things like child custody and visitation, adoption, surrogacy, assisted reproductive technology (ART), and more.

One particularly thorny issue is that of transgender parents. In some cases, courts have been unwilling to grant custody or visitation rights to transgender parents if they have not undergone sex reassignment surgery. This is beginning to change, however, as more states recognize the rights of transgender individuals.

Another issue that often comes up is that of second-parent adoption. This is when one same-sex partner adopts the biological child of the other partner. While this has become more common in recent years, there are still many states that do not allow second-parent adoption.

These are just a few of the many legal issues that LGBTQ families can face. If you are part of an LGBTQ family, it is important to seek out experienced legal help to ensure your rights are protected.

What Unique Challenges Do Members of the LGBTQ Community Face During Divorce?

When members of the LGBTQ community get divorced, they often face unique challenges that their straight counterparts may not necessarily experience. For instance, many states do not currently recognize same-sex marriage, which can complicate divorce proceedings. In addition, child custody can be a difficult issue for LGBTQ couples, as there is often no legal precedent for how to handle these cases.

If you are a member of the LGBTQ community and you are considering getting divorced, it is important to understand the unique challenges you may face and seek legal help to overcome those obstacles. We are staunch advocates for LGBTQ+ couples in need of assistance. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help.

How Can an LGBTQ Family Law Lawyer Help Me?

If you are a member of the LGBTQ community, you may have unique legal concerns that require the assistance of an experienced family law lawyer. Whether you are seeking to establish paternity or child custody arrangements, adopt a child, or create a domestic partnership, an LGBTQ family law lawyer can help you navigate the complex laws surrounding these issues.

An LGBTQ family law lawyer can also assist you in dissolving a domestic partnership or marriage and can help you negotiate fair and equitable property division and spousal support agreements.

No matter what your legal issue may be, it is important to have an attorney on your side who understands the unique challenges that come with being a member of the LGBTQ community.

Is Hiring an LGBTQ Family Law Lawyer Right for Me?

There are many benefits to working with an LGBTQ family law lawyer. First and foremost, an LGBTQ family law lawyer will have a thorough understanding of the unique legal issues that members of the LGBTQ community face. This intimate knowledge can be invaluable in helping you navigate the often-complex legal system. If you need help with family law, contact Hecht Family Law today at (470) 291-5342 to schedule a consultation with our law firm.
