Q: How does the ruling affect the children of same-sex couples?
A: In states that did not recognize same-sex marriage previously, Charles ran into problems with clients where one parent stayed at home to raise the children and did not work. "Any support over $14,000 was not a gift, and was taxable," he says.
Billard has had clients who have had to go to court after 20 years of raising children to have their status upheld. She says Friday's decision will have a huge impact.
"What this does for the children is it solidified what a family is. Pure and simple," she says.
