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.

“Great Job!”
Tiffany did a wonderful job of representing me during my divorce proceedings. She truly understood my circumstances and was highly encouraging.- Previous Client -
“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 -
“Dedicated and Professional”
Ms.Andrews represented My husband and I for a very emotional child custody case in early 2010. She was professional, prepared and most importantly fought for our side to be heard by all parties involved.- Previous Client
We are thankful for all the hard work that she put into our case that lead to a positive ending for our case. We would recommend Ms. Andrews for any legal issues that you may have in family court. -
“Very Professional and Devoted Attorney”
My case was very unique in the way I had a paralegal and 1 other attorney represent me prior to meeting Tiffany Andrews. In the entire 4 years, I have been dealing with divorce/custody I made more headway in a matter of months after hiring her to represent me. She was very caring and very professional. She made each court hearing a very calm controlled environment for me. She heard what I to say and made a world of difference in my life as well as my children.- Annette -
“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!!

“Protected My Interests”
Tiffany has been dealing with my divorce for going on 3 years. Just wrapped up last week. Unfortunately, that's how long my divorce took. But she stuck by and fought for me even though the divorce laws are skewed to basically screw me. In the end, we were able to get a final judgment that I was comfortable with. She was always reachable and responded timely. All in all, she is a great lawyer who will do what's in your best interest.- Rob -
“Tiffany was there for me, even AFTER my case was filed.”
Long Story short, My particular case started off as a Divorce & Child Custody case; but soon after Divorce papers were filed; I (a male) became a Victim of a brutal Domestic Violence from my Ex. Tiffany took care of all the necessary documents needed to finalize my Divorce & Child Custody case while I was hospitalized with multiple stab wounds & internal injuries. Tiffany helped & filed documents so that my children wouldn't be taken as wards of the state; & gave temporary custody to a familial relative while I recovered from my injuries. Not once did she leave my side as an attorney while I was in the hospital recovering from what my Ex-wife did... If I could recommend a Family Attorney to anyone in Northern California... I would recommend Tiffany Andrews; there is no doubt about this in my mind.- Arnell -
“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
