Workshop 67: Queer Families in the Court System: From Youth to Adults
One area of family law which has not received as much attention as it should is how to address queer families as it relates to gender in custody cases, including both youth and adults. This workshop will explore how to overcome the bias that some attorneys and courts have regarding genderqueer persons. Setting up appropriate parenting plans for genderqueer youth, including the necessary supports and how gender affirming treatment will occur will also be discussed.
