The Changing American Family
What is “traditional” depends on the family. Today it can mean mom, dad, and children; single parent; adopted children; same-sex parents; married; unmarried. As the definition of family evolves, so do the legal issues. Divorce laws and application thereof probably will continue to have broad applications. Custody and access issues are greatly impacted in the same-sex arena as we may have both parents adopting, one parent adopting, one parent being the natural birth parent and many other scenarios.
As we continue to see the traditional family change, family law, child custody, and divorce will become more complicated. If you need help with any of these changes, consider contacting Linda Sorg Ostovitz at lostovitz@offitkurman.com or telephone (301) 575-0381.
