Family Law Attorney For LGBTQ+ Couples

At Short Law Firm, PC, I understand that any couple faces disagreements, difficulties and legal issues – regardless of marital status. As a family law attorney, I am committed to helping LGBTQ+ couples in Plano and throughout Texas navigate these challenges. My name is J. Kyle Short. With a deep understanding of the unique needs and concerns of LGBTQ+ families, I can offer personalized and compassionate representation to help you achieve your goals.

Providing A Broad Array Of LGBTQ+ Family Law Services

As a Plano family law attorney with more than 28 years of experience, I am well-versed in the complex and evolving landscape of LGBTQ+ family law. I offer legal services to same-sex couples and LGBTQ+ individuals in the following areas:

  • Same-sex marriage agreement contracts
  • LGBTQ+ divorce
  • Child custody and visitation
  • Community property division
  • Domestic partnership agreement contacts and dissolutions
  • Same-sex adoptions

With the legalization of same-sex marriage in the United States in 2015, more LGBTQ+ couples are now able to enjoy the same rights and benefits as heterosexual couples. However, this also means that LGBTQ+ divorce is becoming more common.

As a same-sex divorce lawyer, I can help you navigate the process, taking into account special considerations such as the length of marriage and establishing parentage for custody purposes. In the event of a divorce or dissolution of a partnership, finding a mutually acceptable resolution can be difficult.

If an agreement cannot be reached through alternative dispute resolution, I advocate on behalf of clients in court. I am prepared to help clients in any way possible.

Adoption And Parenting Options for LGBTQ+ Couples And Individuals

I am passionate about helping LGBTQ+ couples and individuals create a family. In Texas, they have several options for building their families, including:

  • Second parent adoption
  • Joint adoption
  • Stepparent adoption
  • Foster care adoption
  • Gestational surrogacy
  • Donor insemination

Whether you are looking to start a family or expand your existing one, I am here to support and guide you every step of the way. My vast experience and knowledge of family law make me a reliable choice for LGBTQ+ couples and individuals seeking legal guidance and support.

Strong Support For Same-Sex Couples

I have helped many LGBTQ+ couples and individuals with their family law matters, working tirelessly to provide them with a smooth and supportive experience. If you wish to speak to an attorney regarding your case, please contact me online or call 972-813-9959 to discuss your family law needs.
