PARENTAL RIGHTS
Under the California Family Code, a parent cannot be discriminated against because of their sexual orientation. Although this law is strict and absolute, it does not mean it is always followed. Additionally, a parent that is not biologically related to the child has the same rights as the parent who is biologically related so long as the parents were married or registered domestic partners at the time of conception. If you were not married at the time of conception, or even birth, the parent without biological relation to the child may still have rights.
The possibilities of parent relationships are endless, including three and four parent scenarios. No matter how unique your situation, what matters is that you love your child regardless of biological relationship. Don’t let a lack of understanding affect your parental rights. Many judges still depend on the attorneys to brief them in the ways of the law as they relate to same-sex couples and parentage. You need an attorney who has experience applying the outdated laws to our new realities. No matter how uncommon your situation may be, Blagof Law Firm will be able to confidently advise and represent you through it.
