Just like families, family challenges come in all shapes and sizes. Some are universal, while others are specific to the LGBTQ experience. Some gay family law issues are straightforward and easily managed, while others are complicated and arduous. At the Gay Family Law Center, we understand that family law isn't a one-size-fits-all proposition.
The Gay Family Law Center has an unparalleled depth and breadth of knowledge in lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender legal issues. And, because we exclusively serve the LGBTQ community in Los Angeles, Palm Springs, and surrounding areas, we understand your concerns and honor your unique experience.

Given the rapidly changing landscape of LGBT and non-marital family law, an same-sex divorce or dissolution also has the potential to impact the larger LGBT community. The dissolution of an LGBT marriage or domestic partnership is heart-wrenching. That's why it is essential to enlist the services of a law firm that deals exclusively with gay family law.
Gay adoption can arguably be one of life's most joyful journeys. For same-sex couples, however, the LGBT adoption path has historically been strewn with hurdles. Now that Proposition 8 has been overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court, some forms of same-sex adoption are less tricky. Yet other types of lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender adoption remain challenging.
For LGBT individuals and couples gay surrogacy can have a lot of unsuspected events. There are many paths to parenthood, ranging from egg donation to sperm donation to co-maternity to embryo donation to surrogacy. Surrogacy is the road many take to create their families. The Gay Family Law Center is committed to helping LGBT individuals and couples achieve the family they envision.
Same-sex child custody disputes are difficult for every family. Yet LGBT child custody disputes can involve legal issues that simply don't surface in straight divorces and dissolutions. The Gay Family Law Center has deep expertise in the nuances of California family law, and will work to create a child custody agreement that revolves around the best interests of your child or children.

I called Michael's law firm randomly, hoping that he could provide some information to help me with my case here in Arizona. Not only did he spend significant time talking to me, he gave me valuable information to help support my case, knowing that I could never be a client. He was kind, compassionate and relatable. Please call Michael before you call anyone else.
