Chosen Family Law Center is a New York–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides free legal services, policy advocacy, legislative drafting, and professional education to advance legal recognition and protections for LGBTQIA+, polyamorous, multi-parent, platonic co‑parent, and other non‑nuclear or \"chosen\" families.
Advocates for inclusive family‑law reforms and legislation (parentage, multi‑partner/domestic partnership recognition, wills and estate protections), transgender and name/gender‑marker legal supports, anti‑discrimination protections for non‑traditional families, immigration assistance for LGBTQIA+ asylees, and professional education/standards for lawyers and social service providers.
Primarily funded through charitable donations and philanthropy (individual donors and foundation grants), supplemented by program grants and occasional fee‑for‑service or contract support.
Founder and Executive Director Diana Adams; Senior Legal Director Andy Izenson; partnerships with Empire Justice Center, Fordham Law School, and the U.S. HHS LGBTQIA+ Network; collaborations with local LGBTQIA+ health and family centers.
