Gay family law attorneys at our Law Office serving Albuquerque and Santa Fe, New Mexico, are committed to protecting the rights of gay couples who either anticipate or were already served with an LGBTQ+ custody issue.
LGBTQ+ Custody Legal Issues
A parent’s sexual orientation alone cannot be used to prevent a parent from being granted custody or visitation rights, however, non-biological parents may need additional protections if they have not adopted the child. This is an especially important detail in same-sex custody concerns in Santa Fe and Albuquerque, New Mexico.
As with any custody dispute, our legal team protects the best interests of your child as they work to help you resolve your issue. While we attempt first to settle most child custody cases out of court, we are not afraid to litigate when the situation demands it.
