What if there is no court-ordered custody agreement—can the other parent keep my child from me?
Without a formal order, both parents generally have equal rights. We strongly recommend seeking a court order to avoid disputes.
How do I get a custody order if there’s no agreement and the other parent is threatening to limit my time?
We can help you petition the court for a formal custody order to protect your rights.
Is the process different if the parents live in different counties?
There may be special rules for multi-county cases. We can advise you on your rights and options.
Does it matter which county the case is filed in?
Yes, jurisdiction is important. We can help you determine the correct venue and whether your case can be moved.
How do I get a lawyer for a child custody hearing?
Contact us to discuss your upcoming hearing. We will review your case and help you prepare for court.
Is it fraud if a non-biological parent is listed on the birth certificate?
Any changes to a birth certificate must follow legal procedures. Your legal team can advise you on the proper process.
Do you help with all types of adoptions (step-parent, adult, contested, etc.)?
Yes. We handle step-parent, adult, contested, and other adoption types.
How long does the adoption process take?
Every case is unique, but most adoptions take several months from start to finish.
Do you need to talk to my spouse directly if he is the one adopting?
Yes, the adoptive parent must be involved and provide consent.
What basic information do you need to start an adoption case?
We need information about the child, adoptive parent, biological parents, and any previous legal actions. We will guide you through gathering all of the other required documentation. (There are a lot!)
