Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

If my partner and I get married in a state where gay marriage is legal but live in a state it's not will our children be protected? I have parents that would take our children away from my partner if anything happened to me. I don't ever want that to happen what can I do? Also, since DOMA is gone if we do get legally married how would that help us? What would we gain?

Impossible to answer. Protected from what? How? The issues are so new no Florida appellate court has issued a decision on point.

There is no gay marriage in Florida. Did you both adopt the minor children? If so your partner would retain custody should something happen to you.
