Glen Burnie Same-Sex Parents Face Unique Legal Challenges

Child custody and visitation disagreements are always difficult and emotionally charged. However, same-sex couples face additional legal hurdles when trying to assert or defend their parental rights.

The greatest complication stems from the fact that many children in gay and lesbian families are adopted. When one party is the adoptive parent and the other is not, the non-adoptive parent does not have equal rights to the child.

In a similar manner, those who have children through egg or sperm donors have far more extensive legal rights than those who did not physically contribute to the pregnancy. Maryland law does not allow for de facto parents, so a domestic partner is only a third party with no legal claim to the child. The woman who gave birth or the man who donated the sperm is considered the natural parent.
