MCLE Representing Same-Sex Couples in Child Custody & Support Matters
Join Verrill Partner Kristin Doeberl as she presents during MCLE’s online program, “Representing Same-Sex Couples in Child Custody & Support Matters” on November 18, 2025.
Child support and custody issues can be complicated in any divorce or domestic relations case. For LGBTQ+ parents facing child-related disputes, there may often be more nuanced and unique challenges presented. This program provides an overview of custody, parenting, and child support issues within LGBTQ+ families. Participants hear from an expert panel of practitioners regarding the legal foundations of child custody and support, including recent changes brought about by the 2025 Massachusetts Parentage Act. Gain critical insights into LGBTQ+ specific issues within child custody and support cases, including practical and advocacy strategies for LGBTQ+ clients.
This program offers 2 credits towards Rhode Island’s diversity, equity, and inclusion CLE requirements.
