A Compassionate Same-Sex Partnership Attorney
Georgia law now recognizes same-sex marriages. However, as with any relationship, long-term success is greatly aided by careful planning and preparation. And for couples who do not wish to get married, planning is even more important.
You can turn to the law office of Jody A. Miller to handle every legal concern you have regarding your same-sex partnership. We will take the time to get to know your unique situation in order to custom-tailor a legal plan to meet your individual needs. Depending on your circumstances and current relationship, this may include:
- Domestic partnership agreements and other general contracts
- Names on deeds
- Estate planning documents, including wills, trusts and financial powers of attorney
- Health care directives and health care proxies
- Naming beneficiaries on life insurance policies
- Adoptions
- Guardianships
- Child custody and other issues in the event of a breakup
Knowledgeable Representation For Same-Sex Adoption
Although adoption by same-sex couples is legal in Georgia, it is up to individual judges to grant your right to do so on a case-by-case basis. Additionally, state laws do not confer legal rights to nonbiological parents. Given the complexities of planning for a family as a same-sex couple, it is vital to have advice and guidance from a knowledgeable attorney.
As your lawyer, Jody Miller will take the time to fully understand your circumstances and explain the options that are available, including surrogacy and sperm donors. As either one or both partners will need to adopt, she can also help explain what that process will entail and address any questions or concerns you might have. Ms. Miller will then be a strong advocate for you at every step, working to help you achieve your goals with regard to same-sex adoption and parental rights.
