Bethany vs. Jones

N/A

OUTCOME: Favorable

In this case, the Arkansas Supreme Court affirmed the decision to give visitation rights to a non-biological parent, the lesbian partner of the biological mother, who had helped raise the child until t ... he pair separated. This case was very important in establishing an equitable way to protect the rights of children and "de facto" parents in these non-traditional families. Bonnie Robertson is very proud to have represented the non-biological mother in pursuing and continuing her relationship with her daughter, regardless of the absence of biology or marital connection.
