Law.com shares NY Appeals Panel Recognizes ‘Presumption of Legitimacy’ for Children of Same-Sex Marriages
In a decision some gay-rights lawyers are calling a landmark, a state appeals court has recognized for the first time that New York state’s family law “presumption of legitimacy”—which says that a child born during a marriage is presumed to be both spouses’ child—applies to a child born to a same-sex married couple.
Having served our Erie and Niagara County, NY clients in the field of Family Law and Child Custody for over thirty years, we have discovered our clients often have questions prompted by current articles in the news. This leads them to think about their own situation and to formulate pressing questions.
Our staff is tasked with finding ‘news you can use’ to further inform you on the legal topics that matter most to you.
