Many family law practitioners and litigants may not fully understand how the DVPA, custody and visitation, and parentage work together. This presentation will walk through the basics of the statutory provisions and relevant case law to help practicing attorneys, advocates, and self-represented litigants understand these complex provisions. The content is largely geared toward helping DV survivors, especially those who identify as LGBTQI+, understand how to establish parentage when the parent does not have a biological or adoptive connection to the child.
