Family Law for Same Sex Couples

While the state of Georgia does not currently allow same-sex marriages, gay and lesbian couples still need legal protection for matters of adoption, relationship dissolution and child custody and support. As a result, it is even more important to speak with an experienced attorney regarding your family law matters.

At the law firm of Abbott & Abbott, in Marietta and Canton, we work with same-sex couples to provide effective legal options that can offer similar legal protections. We can help you and your partner prepare contracts, wills, powers of attorney, health care proxies, partnership agreements and other documents to legally protect your rights as a couple.
