Committed To Your Family’s Future And Your Freedom

Compassionate And Affirming LGBTQIA+ Family Law Services

At Morris Family Law, we know that LGBTQIA+ individuals and families face unique challenges when navigating family law. You deserve more than just legal support — you deserve advocacy grounded in empathy, dignity, and a deep understanding of the laws affecting LGBTQIA+ Oregonians.

Our Portland-based team provides trusted, affirming representation in all aspects of LGBTQIA+ family law. We bring diverse perspectives, trauma-informed guidance, and unwavering focus on your goals.

We Understand The Nuances Of LGBTQIA+ Family Law

Despite significant progress in legal rights, LGBTQIA+ families still encounter gaps, biases, and legal uncertainties — particularly in parenting, separation, and estate matters. We’re here to bridge those gaps with sensitive, strategic legal support tailored to your life and your family structure.

Whether you’re navigating adoption, divorce, or forming a parenting agreement, we’ll be by your side with clear advice and strong advocacy.

Building Families Through LGBTQIA+ Adoption

Adoption is a cornerstone of family growth for many LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples. We assist with:

  • Agency adoptions
  • Private adoptions
  • Foster and international adoptions
  • Second-parent and stepparent adoptions

We guide you through every step — from preparing paperwork to final hearings — ensuring your parental rights are protected and respected.

Supporting LGBTQIA+ Parents

Parenting comes with legal complexity, especially when assisted reproduction, surrogacy, or evolving gender identities are involved. We can help you with:

  • Legal parentage (including non-biological parental rights)
  • Custody and parenting time arrangements
  • Parental rights enforcement
  • LGBTQIA+ inclusive parenting plans

We’ll help you secure the legal protections that support your role as a parent — today and for the future.

Planning Ahead With Relationship Agreements

LGBTQIA+ couples often benefit from customized legal agreements that affirm and safeguard their relationships. We draft:

These tools clarify financial expectations, support transparency, and protect your future — especially in cases where state or federal protections may fall short. We’ll tailor the agreement to reflect your values and goals.

LGBTQIA+ Divorce And Separation Representation

LGBTQIA+ divorce can involve complex questions around property division, spousal support, and parental rights — particularly when the law has evolved during the course of your relationship. 

We are skilled in navigating these challenges with respect and strategic clarity. Whether your divorce is amicable or contested, we’ll help you protect your rights and move forward with confidence.
