Today let's talk about child custody in queer relationships. Unfortunately many times couples go into an attorney's office to ask about child custody and support, and they are turned away because the attorney does not know how to help them. This means queer couples are turned away from law firms for being queer. Not all attorneys know how to help LGBTQIA couples, and this is incredibly discouraging. The Edwards Law Group is a judgement-free law firm. We want you to know that you deserve, and have a right to quality legal representation. Your life and your family id the most important thing to you, and we want to help you live it to the fullest. You have the right to fight for custody of your child.

Founder and Executive Director of Modern Family Institute. Supporting an evolving ecosystem of families and relationships.
Honored to have been featured in this insightful Slate article discussing the intersection of polyamory and legal rights. It highlights the legislative work we've been supporting at the Modern Family Institute to advocate for inclusive policies that reflect the realities of modern families. As we continue to challenge cultural norms and push for inclusive frameworks, it's crucial to recognize the legitimacy of all family and relationship structures. Let's keep the conversation going and work towards a more inclusive society. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gMhk9SXV #SocialChange #Polyamory #Inclusivity #RelationshipStructure

Recently Bridget Garrood and Max Cohen (he/him) presented to all our colleagues The Family Law Company by Hartnell Chanot an insightful and impactful course dedicated to addressing the family law needs and overall well-being of trans and non-binary clients. The discussions and sessions were incredibly enlightening, covering a range of crucial topics from legal protections and rights to the unique challenges faced by trans and non-binary individuals in family law contexts. A few key takeaways: - **Understanding Unique Legal Challenges**: Highlighting the specific legal hurdles trans and non-binary clients may face and strategies to navigate them. - **Comprehensive Support Systems**: Emphasizing the importance of creating inclusive support systems that address both legal and emotional well-being. - **Advocacy and Awareness**: The need for continued advocacy to ensure equal rights and protections under the law. A big thank you to Bridget and Max. Together, we are making strides towards a more equitable and understanding legal landscape to help support trans and non binary clients to feel psychologically safe and supported. #FamilyLaw #TransRights #NonBinary #LGBTQIA #LegalSupport #Inclusion #WellBeing #ProfessionalDevelopment

Last week, Greece became the 16th country in the European Union, the 21st country in Europe and the 37th country in the world to legislate marriage equality for same-sex union, as well as automatic parental rights for same-sex couples. This is a huge win for the Greek LGBTQ+ community, as it safeguards the future of same-sex families. Whilst we must celebrate the success stories, we cannot overlook the fact that there is still work to be done. There are 27 countries in the EU, which means 41% of EU countries still do not legally recognise same-sex union. Whilst the EU's treaties and law ensure same-sex activity is legal in all EU member states and discrimination in employment is prohibited, EU states have different laws when it comes to any greater protection, same-sex civil union, same-sex marriage, and adoption by same-sex couples. We still have work to do. #lgbthistorymonth #lgbtqrights
