4 Things You Must Know Before Choosing Adoption Attorney

Adopting a child is a wonderful way to expand your family! However, it is not a simple process at all. The process of adopting a child is a legal process. Therefore, you need to hire an adoption attorney who can help you with all state laws and regulations. Additionally, an attorney in the adoption process helps in finalizing the parent-child relationship through the court.

The most important thing to consider while choosing an adoption attorney is experience. An adoption is a lawsuit that is asking the court to give someone legal standing as if they were the biological parents of that child or sibling group. Not all lawyers are experienced in the requirements found in the Texas Family Code. It is imperative that you find an attorney who is experienced in these matters. Lynette Boggs-Perez is such an attorney and was involved in the adoption of 30 children into their forever homes in 2018.

She put him in a basket made of “ bulrushes ” and placed it among the reeds by the river bank and he was saved, ironically, by one of the d...

Things to Know About Child Custody Cases

Going through a divorce is definitely a challenging task, but the big challenge is often the battle over the custody of children. In most cases, both parents are named joint managing conservators of the child or children. The battle, however, is usually over the designation of which conservator will have the exclusive right to determine where the child will live.
