Equitable Parent and Stepparent Custody

Legal Service Equitable Parent and Stepparent Custody - Vanlanduytlaw Greer - Family Law Attorneys

In 2019, Georgia passed a new statute that gives third party non-family members, such as stepparents, the ability to seek standing to establish custody when they have acted as a parent or equitable caregiver to the child. This new statute also opens the door for LGBTQ+ individuals who were unable to marry but were involved in raising children to seek standing to maintain relationships with their children. The law regarding stepparents and non-biological caregivers is still developing nationwide. Our lawyers can assist in reviewing your situation to determine if you have a case under this new law. In fact, Ms. VanLanduyt was involved in reviewing drafts of the legislation that passed here in Georgia.
