EP10: Inside LGBTQ+ Divorce: Parental Rights, Gender Transitions, and Legal Challenges - Part 2

Welcome to Part 2 of "Behind The Case." In the first part, attorneys Tina Campbell and McKenzie Coe explored legal issues like parental rights and asset division in LGBTQ+ divorces. Now, they move on to more sensitive topics, including gender transitions, domestic violence, and the fears some face in conservative courtrooms.

The attorneys explain how gender transitions can be particularly delicate during a divorce. Tina discusses how open communication is crucial to help children and family members adjust, avoiding unnecessary emotional stress or misunderstandings.

Domestic violence in same-sex marriages is another focus. McKenzie shares insights into how these cases can face societal biases, making strong evidence and experienced legal counsel essential for protecting victims and ensuring justice. She adds, “It’s about ensuring every voice is heard and every person is protected.”

Many LGBTQ+ clients feel apprehensive about presenting their cases in court, especially in conservative regions. Turner Monahan's attorneys explain how preparation and support can help clients feel confident, with Tina reassuring listeners that judges primarily focus on the well-being of the children involved.
