Same-gender couples and families undergo the same issues and concerns as heterosexual couples. Get results without waiting for Maryland law to catch up.Maryland's legal model has yet to fully develop laws to address those issues and concerns, leading to even greater uncertainty in court results for those couples and, in often heartbreaking situations, their children. Through the collaborative process, gay, lesbian, transgender and other non-traditional couples and their families can obtain the results they want, without waiting for legislation and the legal process to catch up with them.
