Taylor McCaffrey partner, Robynne Kazina, along with associate Rhoni Mackenzie have been hard at work filing a challenge to update Manitoba’s laws surrounding legal parental rights.
The current law discriminates rights of LGBTQ2S+ families in that it excludes parents of children who are born through assisted reproduction. Parents are not immediately recognized as a legal guardian and required to go through the adoption process to be legally recognized.

Judge Joyal’s ruling brings a victory to all LGBTQ2S+ families in Manitoba.
