Non-Traditional Family Law and GLBT Issues
As many persons in the LGBTQIA community are aware, the laws in the State of Georgia very rarely protect the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex or asexual persons living within the state. At The Edwards Law Group, it is our mission to provide the best legal care to all citizens of Georgia, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identification.
In order to provide our LGBTQIA clients the same basic rights many heterosexual couples and traditionally gender identified persons take for granted, our attorneys have crafted various methods and documents which provide our clients with the best legal protections available. We analyze each situation and will craft a solution to fit the individual’s needs.
Failure to speak to an attorney experienced with dealing with the LGBTQIA community may cause unnecessary heartache and expense, all of which can be avoided by looking ahead and planning appropriately. It is up to you to take the necessary steps to ensure the family you have created is provided for, and we are a great resource to help you do just that.
Each family unit is important and we work hard to help you protect your family as if it was our own. Please contact The Edwards Law Group to discuss the options available to you.

Addressing All of Your Family Law Concerns
Every family is different, and no matter how your family is structured, we will do everything we can to meet your legal goals. Relying on many years of family law experience, we will help you understand all of your options and take the approach that is best for you and your loved ones.
We have a decade of experience guiding GLBT clients through all kinds of family law issues such as:
Domestic partnership agreements — When your relationship is not legally recognized, it is critically important to protect your interests. Many of our GLBT clients think of their domestic partnership agreements as being similar to prenuptial agreements.- Adoption — Certain Georgia counties view second parent adoptions favorably. We will position your situation to help you achieve your goal of adopting a child.
- Estate planning — Although estate planning is important for every adult, GLBT and non-traditional families face unique hurdles. We will take a comprehensive approach to your estate planning to help you plan for your future. Drafting wills, powers of attorney and basic trusts, we can make sure that your loved ones and your assets will be protected.
- Child custody and visitation — We will work with you to protect your children. As skilled negotiators, we are often able to achieve solutions that are in everyone’s best interests.
- Child support issues — Non-traditional families face many of the same child support concerns that other families encounter. We will work with you to reach an arrangement that reflects your situation.
