Same-Sex Marriage: A child born during the marriage

In this video, Carrie Marquis goes into the topic of a child born during the marriage of a same-sex couple. Now, this can be tricky, so we've created this video to guide you through the dark.

The video discusses the legal considerations surrounding a child born during the marriage of a same-sex couple in Texas. The law in Texas presumes that any child born during the marriage is the child of both parents, but this presumption was created when there were only opposite-sex marriages. Therefore, for same-sex couples, there are significant legal considerations to be made, particularly for the non-biological parent. Even if the non-biological parent is on the birth certificate, they have not been adjudicated a parent of the child, which can put them at a disadvantage in claiming parental rights in the event of a divorce. To avoid this, it is important for the non-biological parent to adopt the child to be on the same legal footing as the biological parent. The video encourages viewers to seek more information from their office or website if they need help with this process.
