The legalization of Same-Sex Marriage is relatively new in the State of Arizona. Unfortunately, to date, the laws regarding Same-Sex Custody and Parenting Time child custody rights have not been revised nor amended to account for the children raised by married same sex couples. This means that children are only presumed to be the children of both parties, thus subject to joint custody laws, if the children are born during the marriage. This is regardless of surrogacy, artificial insemination or other alternative biological parenting alternatives.
Until the laws are changed, the existing laws can cause legal difficulties during custody disputes, as only one parent usually has legal custody rights to the children. The attorneys at Lasiter & Jackson, PLLC are aware of the legal challenges same sex parents face and the challeges of same-sex marriage issues.
