well we’ve been handling
00:05
lgbtq plus divorce cases
00:08
since our firm started back in those
00:11
days it required certain creative
00:14
moves in order to work around the fact
00:18
that the laws weren’t
00:19
in existence to really protect those
00:20
individuals at that time
00:22
but since oberfeld what we’ve seen is um
00:25
really an
00:26
a need for education we’ve been
00:29
seeing a lot of courts require education
00:31
as to how lgbtq
00:33
plus status may affect divorce a child
00:36
custody situation and adoptions
00:38
however i would say the trend is fo is
00:41
moving
00:42
away from education and more towards
00:43
normalization we’re
00:45
facing situations where this isn’t the
00:46
first time a court a judge or a party or
00:49
an attorney has seen this issue or has
00:51
uh dealt with these types of situations
00:54
you’re no longer facing situations where
00:56
there’s any
00:57
uncertainty as to what a court may or
00:59
may not do with certain situations
01:02
it’s made us better able to advise our
01:05
clients
01:06
and represent our clients in in courts
