Just a few short years ago, same sex, transgender and LGBTQ marriages were
illegal. After the dust has settled on the Supreme Court Decision which
corrected the moral and legal wrong of those marriage bans, divorce law
surrounding LGBTQ divorces, custody and other family-law related legal
matters is now starting to be crafted. I have provided members of the
LGBTQ community with competent legal representation for several years.
In fact, I was the first attorney to procure a same-sex divorce in Bergen
County, New Jersey BEFORE same-sex marriages were legalized in the Sate
of New Jersey. When facing issues of custody and visitation of non-biological
children, the law regarding the non-parents ability to seek visitation
of a child of their ex/current partner has been completely turned on its
head, giving the non-biological parent standing to seek custody/parenting
time with the subject child. These new advancements in LGBTQ rights are
exciting and I am staying on top of every new case or law issued on this
subject. Discrimination of the LGBTA community is a real issue, especially
on Staten Island. I am dedicated to helping all members of our community
turn their fears into power when happily ever after fades away.
