New website is designed to aid in clearing up many of the perceived gray areas surrounding recently evolving legislation, publishes lgbtfamilylawcenter.com

Greenville, SC -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/15/2015 -- The past few years have marked a number of milestones for same-sex families throughout the United States, the most significant of which could be considered official recognition of marriage. While this movement changes the landscape of American families, it has also brought about a number of additional legal concerns among those in the community. In light of these developments, Jack Munsey of Greenville-based Washburn Law Firm, PLLC has launched a new website dedicated to LGBT and Same Sex Family Law.

Munsey affirmed, "Though all these changes signify a step in the right direction for our country, they have also created an entirely new level of confusion in regard to the laws governing this sector. Same-sex couples face the same challenges as traditional marriages at home and are equally susceptible to dissolution and the legal matters to follow. At the same time, this evolving landscape opens the door for discrimination from a number of angles. Our new website is designed to help clear up some of the perceived gray areas now emerging and help those in the LGBT community better understand their rights."

Among the primary focus areas of this website is family growth and reproductive elements. Despite recent legislation clearly delegating adoption rights to same-sex couples, many are being met with opposition from agencies involved in this process. With surrogacy as well as sperm or egg donation more prevalent among this portion of the community, having legally sound contractual agreements in place is increasingly crucial to circumventing future problems for children and parents alike.

While laws surrounding divorce in this realm remain in their embryonic stages, decisions regarding child custody and support, alimony, visitation, asset division and other common matters are currently based on the same determining factors applying to conventional families. Rulings are expected to continue along those lines for the foreseeable future. Reasons for seeking dissolution, income of both parties and which parent is the primary caregiver of any children involved are all taken into consideration when deciding such matters in Asheville and the surrounding areas, as are physical and mental condition of those concerned.

Concluded Munsey, "The landscape of the American family may be evolving, but the applicable laws are essentially the same. We cover the full scope of legal matters for same-sex couples, from prenuptial agreements to will contests and beyond. Anyone considering marriage, divorce, adoption or any of the other factors involved in securing the present and planning for the future is encouraged to contact us. We believe in fighting for the rights of our clients regardless of the issue at hand; our new website is only the latest step in our efforts to foster equality."

The site serves to educate the public on issues related to immigration, announces 4USAImmigration.com

Greenville, SC -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/15/2015 -- Washburn Law Firm, PLLC launches a new Immigration Law website, designed to educate the public on issues related to immigration, as the firm understands this is a topic on the mind of many. The firm maintains offices in Asheville, North Carolina and Greenville, South Carolina to assist individuals with matters relating to immigration. As this topic continues to heat up, the website will be a great resource for individuals who have questions regarding moving to the United States.

"As the Denver Post recently reported, there is no way to know what the Supreme Court would do in the event Donald Trump becomes president and follows through on his statement that he would close the country's borders to all Muslims. As the president and Congress have both had wide discretion when it comes to this volatile topic, many are worried what an action of this type may lead to in the future, with some experts believing the banning of all Muslims would not be unconstitutional," Jack Munsey, spokesperson for the Washburn Law Firm, announces.

In the past, the United States government denied visas to certain categories of individuals, including those who were born to parents who weren't married and those who were Marxists. Never has the Supreme Court, the highest court in the land, struck down any immigration classification based on race or any other reason, as Peter Shapiro, an immigration expert at Temple University, explains. Other experts disagree, however, stating the court would never allow a president to ban a group based on religious reasons, as this would violate religious freedom provisions found in the constitution.

"As a result of these differing opinions, many individuals fear they may be denied entry to the country in the future. This is especially true during times of war, as the government did prohibit Chinese laborers from entering the country in the 1800s and also allow Japanese-Americans to be put into internment camps during World War II. As many are now saying America is in a war against Islamic extremists, this could lead to certain groups, such as Muslims, to be banned legally," Munsey continues.

Immigration lawyers work to ensure those who wish to enter the country may do so. Whether a person wishes to obtain a visa or work permit, wants to obtain permanent citizenship or would like to take advantage of the immigration executive order, an immigration attorney can be of assistance. Individuals find these laws to be very complicated, and a single mistake may delay or halt the process entirely.

"Contact our office today so we can assist you in getting the paperwork needed to come to America. The initial consultation is free and we speak Spanish, to assist those who choose to communicate in their native language. Everyone wishing to come to America should have the opportunity to do so, and we work to make that dream a reality," Munsey declares.
