Parental Rights in LGBT Families
Special seminar covering important legal & financial issues
Join us for a special event that will be important for people who want to understand parentage and custody in blended families and LGBT Families
While the legal landscape has changed dramatically and is favorable, there are still challenges for blended families and LGBT families. Please join Attorney Lisa Cukier from Burns & Levinson and Financial Planner Stuart Armstrong, CFP®, ADPA(SM) from Centinel Financial Group for a discussion regarding how best to think through these issues.
Lisa Cukier will cover topics including parentage through biology, assisted reproductive technologies, adoption, surrogacy and de facto parentage judgments. She will also explore divorce versus paternity and its impact on custody, the impact on custody of prenuptials and postnuptials, and guardianship and conservatorship.
Stuart Armstrong will cover the current LGBT landscape, where we stand now, what’s changed, and how you can plan your family’s finances going forward whether you are married or not. Stuart will provide you key updates related to the recent June 2015 US Supreme Court decision and what could be on your ‘To Do’ list of financial priorities. Stuart will also cover key planning points for those who are not married and how that might impact your planning choices.
RVSP to reserve your seat as space is limited. There is no cost for attendance and complimentary refreshments & snacks will be provided for your enjoyment throughout the event.
