LGBT Family Law

The Smith Law Group has proudly provided legal counsel and support to members of the Inland Empire and Orange County LGBT community for over 30 years . At our Riverside law firm, we understand as a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, or Transgendered member of the community, you may have questions or concerns regarding family law related issues, and we are here to help!

Our law firm is committed to providing exceptional, compassionate, and caring professional family law related legal services. Debra A. Smith and the attorneys at The Smith Law Group are well respected in Riverside and the surrounding communities, and are very familiar with the local courts, judges, and mediators, as well as their ever changing policies and procedures.

When contemplating divorce, dealing with a custody issue, or any other family law matter, it is absolutely critical to have a strong, experienced attorney on your side. We have a proven track record of protecting and preserving our clients’ rights and will be unrelenting in our fight to get you the best possible outcome for your situation.

In California, a lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgendered marriage is considered equal to any other marriage, and is afforded the same rights and protections. With regard to divorce, California is a “no-fault” state, which means that it is not necessary to prove that either partner has done some wrong in a marriage to petition for divorce.

In addition to assisting with preparation of marriage or a divorce, our office can also provide assistance with child custody, child support, and adoption.

Although divorce, custody issues, and other family law matters can be emotionally difficult and highly stressful, please know that we are here to help and support you every step of the way. Give us a call today!

Attorneys William Smith and Debra Smith
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Ms. Smith was very sensitive to our needs. Our children were living in an abusive household and she was very prompt and agressive to help in removing them. Ms. Smith is a compassionate and understanding attorney who saved our children from a horrible situation.”

END TO MY ABUSE

“My case was very hard because it involved my wife being unfaithful for 26 years, raised 4 children and my dedication to her nearly killed me and disturbed my children. My attorney did everything right to end this abuse I suffered!”

- McDonnald

Had Enough Book Series
A three volume set that exposes the often hidden world of emotional and physical abuse as it exists in our society today; from its inception in a relationship, to its eventual depression or even destruction of the victim. Written by attorney Debra A. Smith, the books are full of first person narratives that describe actual abusive situations with chilling clarity, demonstrating the entire spectrum of abuse from verbal, to emotional, to physical. The series provides effective methods to assess an abusive situation and formulate a plan to escape it. The books are riveting reading, connecting with the abuse victim on a decidedly personal and realistic level.
