These limitations pose many problems for LGB parents and their children – for example:

Children are excluded from the protection and legal obligations of their non-biological parent towards them in terms of inheritance, maintenance and other benefits;

In the event of the dissolution of a relationship or in the event of the death of the legal parent, the child/children can be separated from their second parent, who has no legal connection to their child/children but who may have co-parented the child/children from birth. Equally, the child could be separated from the extended family of their non-biological parent – for example, de facto grandparents may have played a significant role in the life of the child but they have no legal link or connection to their de facto grandchild;

Further day-to-day difficulties arise because the second parent has no legal connection with their child – for example, the non-biological parent may not be able to sign a consent form for medical treatment in the event of the other parent being incapacitated or unavailable. Similar issues arise in relation to registering a child for school and barriers to travel arising from non-recognition of the second parent.
