NCLR Hails Groundbreaking Decision: California Court of Appeal Holds That Lesbian Co-Parent Is Entitled to Seek Visitation
From U.S. Newswire Releases:
Today, the National Center for Lesbian Rights hailed a groundbreaking decision by the California Court of Appeal holding that a lesbian co-parent is entitled to seek visitation. The Court held that Angela G. is entitled to seek visitation with the child that she jointly brought into the world and co-parented with her former same-sex partner. The legal issues presented in the case are the same as those in three other cases currently pending before the California Supreme Court.
Angela and her former partner were in a committed relationship and decided to have a child together through alternative insemination, using an anonymous sperm donor. Angela paid for the insemination and participated fully in preparing for the child's birth. After the child was born in 1988, Angela and her partner raised the child together in a two-parent family. Angela put the child on her health insurance and took him to medical appointments. When the couple separated in September of 2000, Angela initially had regular visitation and paid child support.
