For over 16 years, Emily Doskow has been helping LGBT individuals, couples, and families establish their relationships and protect their rights. Your life is full of transitions: you may be planning to marry or register as domestic partners, have or adopt a child, or change the structure of your family because of a dissolution of your partnership.

All of these life changes carry legal consequences and all of them require legal planning. If you need help or information, you’ve come to the right place. Emily Doskow can help you learn about

• Options for bringing a child into your life (adoption, surrogacy, ovum donation)
• Preparing a sperm donor agreement
• Completing an adoption (domestic partner, stepparent, independent, and international readoptions)
• Marrying or establishing domestic partnership in California, including premarital or pre-partnership legal counseling and preparation of prenuptial and pre-partnership agreements
• The legal rights of married spouses and domestic partners when children are involved
• The legal rights of coparents where there’s no adoption
• Dissolving a marriage or domestic partnership (or a heterosexual marriage)

Emily's commitment is to provide high quality, up-to-date legal services at affordable rates, and to explain the law in plain English so that you understand what it means to you.
