Some LGBTQ people in Kansas who wanted to raise children born to partners they couldn’t legally marry can be denied contact with the children when the couples split up. An attorney is urging the state’s highest court to make that less likely to happen. the Kansas Supreme Court heard arguments in two cases brought by women who were unmarried partners of other women who became mothers through artificial insemination. Neither woman had a formal parenting agreement with the mothers and the court is considering whether Kansas law requires such an agreement for those women to have contact with the children.
