| Summary: | "One of the challenges in bringing family law impact cases on behalf of transgender clients is the dearth of knowledge among family law attorneys--even those deeply committed to advocating on behalf of their transgender clients--about how to best and most effectively represent them. As a result, many transgender clients have been negotiating away family law protections out of fear, often well-founded, that they will fare worse in the courts than if they strive to reach some negotiated agreement with someone seeking to restrict their familial rights. In addition, many transgender clients who have taken the risk of going to court have found themselves in front of tribunals influenced by the widespread community and social bias against transgender people generally. ... Reversing bad precedent, establishing favorable outcomes, and changing public attitudes regarding transgender people is especially critical in the area of family law because it presses so deeply on the most intimate of human relationships. Those are the goals of this book."--Pages xvii-xix.. |
