Longino Law: Houston LGBTQ+ Family Lawyers
Longino Law is a Houston-based law firm that specializes in LGBTQ+ family law issues. The firm is experienced in handling complex family law matters such as same-sex divorce, child custody and support, adoption, and more.
Same-Sex Family Law Issues
Same-sex family law issues can introduce some additional complexities, as our statutes in Texas have not caught up to the law of the land under Obergefell v. Hodges. For instance, the courts and legal profession are still working through some issues. For example, presumptions of parentage refer to paternity. Additionally, there has been ongoing litigation on the issue of whether parties could agree to be married to have a valid informal (common law) marriage before Obergefell, when Texas had it's own Defense of Marriage Act in effect. A final example is what recognition to provide to a civil union obtained in another state (prior to Obergefell) but the parties now reside in Texas: what is their legal status?
Resolving Same-Sex Family Law Challenges
Longino Law understands the unique set of legal issues that come with being part of a same-sex couple in Texas, particularly when it comes to matters such as divorce, parentage, child custody, adoption, and property division.
