The Virginia LQBTQ Family Law guide was drafted by Family Equality, in collaboration with Equality Virginia. It addresses many of the legal rights and issues that affect LGBTQ families currently living in Virginia.
As LGBTQ equality advances across the nation, Virginia has recently enacted a number of new laws to protect LGBTQ families from discrimination in parental recognition, employment, housing, healthcare, public accommodations, and education. In this changing environment, it is important to understand what the law is in each area and how best to protect your family.
