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, seeking same-sex adoption, 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.

“I would highly recommend her!”
Tiffany Andrews is an excellent lawyer. I found her to be efficient, knowledgeable, and honest. Going through the legal system is stressful and having a competent attorney is essential. She is very fast at explaining things, but thorough and excellent with her explanations. I would highly recommend her.- Laurel -
“Kindness and Generosity”
I can not thank me Andrews and her team enough for the kindness and generosity they showed me throughout one of the most difficult things I’ve had to deal with in my life. My head was spinning after months of googling and weighing my options while searching for a lawyer to handle my case. I imagine like most in the working class you may be afraid that you will make the mistake and hire the wrong lawyer. Wasting all your funds and end up no better off than you were. This was not the case with Tiffany and her team. I made the stupid mistake of going to the first part of my divorce custody case of going at it alone my case was very clear and I trusted the justice system to do what was right. This was not the scenario I faced. The opposition lawyer was able to manipulate everything and knew loopholes that the average person wouldn’t even believe was something that could happen in a court room. I can not stress enough it does not matter what is right and what is wrong you need a lawyer to protect yourself. As far as I’m concerned Tiffany and her team are mericle workers. I went into this thinking “oh great I’m going to be manipulated out of more and more money and I’m going to end up where I started anyway” following Tiffany’s advice I ended up being able to protect myself. From the moment I retained ms Andrews she was there for me literally day and night. I had many questions and issues throughout my case and though I don’t suggest anyone bothering her after business hours there were a few times I felt I needed to contact her and received a response very shortly after. These responses were often reassuring that she had things under control. This is a huge factor for me. Also she was very knowledgeable and always represented herself and myself in good light. I did not want to be vicious and aggressive and she managed to be assertive without being over the top. She was very respectful and I never had the feeling hat things were over my head. She always took the time to explained things to me in a way that I could understand and make well informed decisions. I would and will recommend me Andrews and her team to anyone looking for the best.- Brian -
“Professional and Effective”
I retained Tiffany Andrews to accomplish my divorce and am pleased with the service provided. My ex-wife was very uncooperative at times and prolonged the divorce unnecessarily. Tiffany was able to move things along and eventually get her to complete her part of the necessary paperwork. Further, I am in the military and was deployed while the process was ongoing. Even though I was half a world away Tiffany and her staff were able to keep me abreast of the situation and worked with me to sign paperwork and keep things rolling. I would highly recommend Tiffany Andrews to those in need of legal services.- Previous Client -
“Child Custody Case”
- AlanTiffany was asked to represent me in court as my primary attorney was called to attend another court case.
Tiffany acted in a very professional manner, was very supportive, Tiffany made sure that she has a good understanding of my case prior to attending court. Whilst we waited for the court to open Tiffany was very attentive to me, asking me if I had any questions, trying to relax me even though this is a highly confrontational custody case. During the wait time, Tiffany noticed that the other attorney was acting inappropriately and immediately challenged his position, to which he apologized.
Once in court Tiffany took the lead putting forward our case, she did this in a well-structured way. Each point had solid reasoning and when the apposing council tried to interrupt Tiffany politely asked him to wait until she had completed his argument. Tiffany mentioned to the judge the incident in the waiting area and the Judge was very clear that this behavior was unacceptable. The judge listed intently to Tiffany points and contentions, the facts were very clear and he was able to make the required decisions based on her submission without further clarification on my custody request.
Despite the fact Tiffany was covering for another attorney, I could not have asked for better support. She is an outstanding attorney, very knowledgeable on custody cases and the rules relating to custody. I would have not had a second thought engaging Tiffany as my primary attorney or making a recommendation to anybody who needs an excellent divorce/custody lawyer.
Thank you for your support - you were outstanding -
“Amazing and Professional”
I can not express in enough words how much Ms. Tiffany Andrews has helped me with my case. Since the beginning, she has been very detailed, quick to respond, professional and knowledgeable. Throughout the process, I always felt comfortable and at ease knowing she was handling every aspect of my case. She truly cares about her clients! Thank you very much for all that you have done for me and the services you continue to provide!- Amanda -
“Amazing Family Law Attorney!!”
Tiffany did an amazing job handling my case, most of which she did long distance as I relocated to another state across the country soon after she was hired. I just couldn't have gotten through that time in my life without her. She's extremely knowledgeable and relatable. She's truly gifted at what she does and I'd recommend her to anyone with Family Law issues.- Sandrell -
“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 -
