Understanding the Evolution of LGBT Rights
The legal history of LGBT rights throughout California and the nation has been ever changing for a number of years. It is a complex area of law and can impact your rights during a divorce or legal separation.
As of today, same-sex couples have the ability to not only register as domestic partners, but they may also marry, divorce, adopt, face issues with filing taxes, and terminate their domestic partnership. To handle these legal issues – especially with the ever-changing laws recently – you will need an experienced family law attorney who is familiar with the history and can ensure that your rights are protected.
Comprehensive Legal Support for LGBT Family Matters
Families in today’s society can be made up of many different facets. This is even more true for the LGBT community.
Now that same-sex couples have the right to marry and divorce, they are also faced with related issues including:
- Custody
- Visitation
- Alimony
- Child support
LGBT families can be formed in many different ways. If you are thinking of ending your marriage, terminating your domestic partnership, legally separating, filing to establish parentage of a child, or seeking custody of a child, you will need the guidance of an experienced and knowledgeable LGBT mediator or attorney from the Law Office of Tiffany L. Andrews, P.C.
Having an attorney who is knowledgeable in these areas will ensure you are not only treated with respect but assisted through this tough time in your life. Our Folsom LGBT family lawyers are dedicated to serving you and your family with care and compassion.

“Divorce & Separation Advice Session”
She was great, put my mind at ease. I had a few short questions, not enough to warrant a face-to-face with a lawyer at a high price and she took care of them. Precise, knowledgable and friendly too.- Previous Client -
“I feel blessed to have Ms. Andrews on my side, and I highly recommend her services!”
- CarlosAfter the initial shock of being served divorce papers, I began interviewing attorneys to help me with the legal proceedings. The first couple of attorneys focused on how to address the support and division of property issues included in the papers I was served, without really asking me about my interests in this matter.
After meeting with Ms. Andrews, and ever since that initial interview and consultation, I always felt she had my best interests in mind. She immediately explained what I needed to file and when what to expect going forward and then asked me about my interests. Wow! She was exactly the kind of attorney I was looking for to represent me.
She was always responsive to my questions and requests, no matter how basic, and got back to me in a timely manner… at times outside normal work hours. But, the biggest and most pleasant surprise to me was when she began educating and guiding me through every step in order to achieve my interests and goals -– mainly, my number one priority and “my everything” in this whole process: to retain shared custody and visitation rights with my children. Her guidance and recommendations put me at ease and really helped put my children first.
Her knowledge, honesty, and dedication through numerous and unexpected court hearings involving custody and visitation issues not only resulted in the resolution of such issues in a competent and efficient manner but a resolution that Ms. Andrews knew I wanted.
Not only is Ms. Andrews reliable, helpful and an overall amazing attorney, her office staff is also very courteous, professional and efficient in keeping me apprised of what was needed and the status of the case. Thank you so much, Ms. Andrews… and staff!!

“Excellent Attorney!”
Tiffany and her office have been Great. I am going through a difficult divorce. So far she has been there for me when I have concerns. In court, she has brought her A+ game. She is very detailed. Tiffany has been able to get full standard on alimony, which is what I wanted. And lawyer fees. For the first time in a long time, I am hopeful of a positive outcome.- Previous Client -
“Got my life back, so awesome!”
This lady knows her stuff! She is quick and on top of the case at hand. When we were waiting for my very late (now) ex to show up for court, she was furiously working and we got the case settled, done, over! She also tells it like it is. I learned so much from her and her very courteous staff. If I was freaking out a bit, they never lost their cool. Thank you so much for everything!- Lyn -

Extremely knowledgable, professional and timely with responses to my every question. Thank you beyond measure to Tiffany Andrews!- Sarah -
“Divorce & Separation Advice Session”
I needed help with a legal document. Tiffany Andrews answered my questions, gave me advice about possible changes to protect myself and also provided possible consequences of putting in or leaving out certain items. What really impressed me is if I interrupted her at any time, she stopped talking to listen. She was really listening and making sure she understood what I was asking. I am super impressed with this service and her.- Previous Client -
“Tiffany Gave Me a Voice!”
I hired Tiffany to help me in a custody dispute with my ex regarding my young son. During the entirety of my previous relationship and even after separation my ex had intimidated me and dominated any decision made regarding my son. He bullied me and used his financial advantage to make me feel that I didn't stand a chance against him when he filed to take majority custody of our son. I went into the custody dispute feeling weak but as a mother, I would go to any length, at any cost to fight for my son. Tiffany and her staff gave me so much confidence and ensured me that they would be my voice and help me fight for my rights as a mother and that is exactly what she did. Tiffany was extremely thorough, knowledgeable, compassionate, and honest. She did her job and she did it well. Tiffany was very aggressive while staying very professional in front of the judge. I walked out of the courtroom feeling empowered and protected. My family cannot ever thank her and her staff enough. I would recommend her to anyone that finds themselves in a family dispute. She will give you the justice you and your family deserve.- Cheyenne -
