Assisted Reproduction & LGBTQ+ Partners / Parents

Overview

There can be unique legal challenges faced by those who pursue assisted reproduction (domestically and internationally) to grow their family.

There are often additional complexities for LGBTQ+ parents / families; both in relation to assisted reproduction and the broader family law areas we cover relating to child arrangements, legal parenthood, marriage, and family finance.

Our team brings specialist legal knowledge, skill, and creativity to cases in this complex and developing area of law. We also recognise that legal proceedings around parenthood or relationships are likely to be among the most emotional and difficult life experiences clients will face. The last thing needed in those circumstances is the additional burden of navigating lawyers, and sometimes law, with outdated language or understanding of diverse family structures. Our barristers are committed to doing their part to ease that burden, by providing experienced and respectful guidance and representation. The law may be complex, but your family structure and preferred terms or pronouns are not.
