Parenting Advice: Raising a Happy & Healthy LGBTQ Child "When many LGBTQ people look back on their childhood, we remember a mixture of confusingly feeling different; being harassed for our sexual identities; and realizing how important our parents, teachers and other authority figures were in either helping us through those years or making our lives worse. Experts say research shows that how parents respond can be fundamental to their children’s mental health a...nd well-being, now and in the future. Family matters most, says Joe Kort, a clinical psychotherapist and author of LGBTQ Clients in Therapy. If you’re a high rejecting family, you’re going to put that child in harm’s way. Suicidality will increase the more rejecting the family is. Numerous studies have documented that LGBTQ youth report significantly higher rates of having seriously considered, made a plan or attempted suicide, compared with young people who are heterosexual and cisgender, meaning their gender identity matches the sex on their birth certificate, according to the Trevor Project, an organization dedicated to suicide prevention efforts for LGBTQ and questioning youth." -Steven Petrow, Washington Post Full Article Link: https://www.washingtonpost.com//02892532-d727-11ea-9c3b-df www.Gay-Legal.com Free Phone Consultation - Call (818) 205-9090 13960 Ventura Blvd, 2nd Floor Sherman Oaks, CA 91423

LGBTQ+ Judgment Modifications A Judgment is the final document in a divorce or parentage action that sets forth permanent orders on support, visitation, custody, and division of assets and debts, etc. After entry of Judgment, it becomes much more difficult to modify these orders because the Court requires a showing that something significant has changed in order to modify the orders.... Fortunately, our office has experience setting aside default judgments that are unfair and biased, and modifying Judgments when the circumstances have changed and your Judgment needs reviewing. Modification can include increasing or lowering your spousal and child support payments, changing the custody and visitation schedule, or setting aside a Judgment that was entered against you on default.

Now, a recent study from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) published in the Journal of General Internal Med...icine suggests that since the onset of the coronavirus crisis, the level of anxiety and depression among LGBTQ+ individuals has increased even more, especially in those who haven’t struggled with these conditions before." -Naveen Kumar, Elemental.Medium.com 1 Vulnerability to economic fallout and negative health outcomes 2 Missing health coverage and social isolation 3 New-onset anxiety and depression as a direct response to the coronavirus crisis : coldsnowstorm/Getty Image www.Gay-Legal.com Free Phone Consultation - Call (818) 205-9090 13960 Ventura Blvd, 2nd Floor Sherman Oaks, CA 91423
