QUESTION:

I am in a lesbian relationship and we have a 4-year-old son who is biologically mine. He doesn't have a father and we want to do a formal guardianship or adoption so that he can be on my partner's medical insurance and flight benefits. My mother has threatened to take custody of him just because of the situation, but she cannot prove me unfit. Would she stand a better chance of getting him if my partner had legal rights? Would that hurt me?

ANSWER:

As you know best, you are in a complicated situation -- and one in which a strategy you apply to any one aspect can have rippling effects.

It's best if you and your partner do not go it alone here. You need competent legal advice from a lawyer familiar with the adoption, guardianship, and custody laws in Georgia, particularly as applied to lesbian mothers.

Contacting a gay/lesbian legal advocacy organization would be a starting point. Try the National Center for Lesbian Rights or theSouthern Regional Office of Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund, in Atlanta, Georgia; 404-897-1880.

Put the legal experience of Louisiana Traffic
Ticket Attorney Paul Massa to work for you.


Since 1991, clients have been hiring me to represent them in their Louisiana Traffic ticket cases. I help them avoid auto insurance premium increases, missed work, and travel expenses since they don't have to go to court themselves.

I go to court for them and obtain lower fines, court costs, and contempt fees in regards to their Louisiana traffic ticket. My clients' Louisiana traffic tickets are either DISMISSED, or REDUCED to a NON MOVING VIOLATION which will not appear on the client's driver license record.
