What if there is no opposing party or contact with the biological parent—does that make adoption easier?
No contact with the biological parent can affect the process. It does not necessarily make it easier.
Do you help with adult adoptions (adopting children who are already over 18)?
Yes, we handle adult adoptions as well as adoptions of minors.
Can my spouse adopt my children if their biological father is absent?
Yes, this is possible, especially if the biological parent is uninvolved. We will explain the process and any required consents or notices.
How do we go about an adoption for a step-parent?
Step-parent adoptions involve a court process. We guide you through the legal steps, paperwork, and hearings.
Will you talk to the point-of-contact/family member if the client is elderly or needs help?
Yes, with the client’s permission, we can work with a family member as the main point of contact. In general, we talk to just the client, but we understand there are situations where we have to include a family member or other point of contact.
Can you represent a family member (like my grandfather) if I help him through the process?
Yes, as long as the client consents, we can include supportive family members in the process.
What is your policy if a case is supposed to be ‘uncontested’ but the other party changes their mind?
If a case becomes contested, we can represent you through negotiation or litigation as needed.
What should I do if the other side gets a lawyer or power of attorney and refuses to cooperate?
We can help you navigate disputes, including cases involving power of attorney or sudden changes in cooperation.
What if the other side suddenly refuses to sign divorce papers after originally agreeing?
This situation may require additional legal steps. We can help you pursue your divorce through the courts if needed.
How do I get a divorce if we’ve been separated for many years?
Even after a long separation, you must file for legal divorce. We can guide you through the process, whether or not your spouse is cooperative.
