A lifetime of discrimination, stigma, and harassment for LGBTQ+ older adults may be the source of legal conflict or the lens through which family court matters are perceived and litigated. Interdisciplinary family law professionals must understand the historical context and challenges facing LGBTQ+ older adults to meaningfully and competently work with this community. This article examines older LGBTQ+ family systems and intersections with family law professionals. The compounded stigma within legal and familial structures can increase the risk of elder abuse and neglect for this community. Every situation is different and every family is unique, but opportunities for better outcomes are possible when we support LGBTQ+ family connections
