Article on lesbian parenting law published in Family Law

Friday, November 26th, 2010

We have had an article published in leading legal journal Family Law about the case of T v B recently heard in the High Court. The case involved a lesbian couple in dispute following a split, and the court found that the non birth mother was not a ‘parent’ under English law and so not financially responsible for her child. Our article reviews the case and its implications for same sex parenting.

You can read the article in full at Lesbian mothers in dispute: T v B (Family Law, November 2010) or find out more from our website about lesbian parenting law.

Stonewall Gay Dads’ Guide launched

Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010

Gay rights charity Stonewall has published the first ever Guide for Gay Dads, giving legal and practical help for gay men wanting to start a family. We are proud to have contributed to the guide as expert advisers and authors of the legal sections on surrogacy, donor conception and co-parenting for gay men. We work with many same sex parents (and prospective parents), and know that Stonewall’s guide will be an invaluable resource for gay couples exploring their options for starting a family.
