Abstract
ABSTRACT Changes in reproductive technology and public attitudes are contributing to the emergence of a radically new family form–the planned lesbian and gay family. Due to the growth and visibility of these families, forensic psychologists are increasingly likely to encounter them in the family law arena. This article outlines emerging practice opportunities and provides a starting point for forensic practitioners who want to familiarize themselves with relevant issues. It summarizes contemporary scholarship regarding parenting styles, gender roles, and child outcome, outlines the legal status of sexual minority families, and alerts practitioners to issues that are frequently raised in high-conflict custody disputes involving these families.
