What Does An Ogden Adoption Lawyer Do?
Adoption attorneys provide assistance for families seeking routine adoptions as well as those who may be in a more complex or contested adoption process. We can assist with the appeals and trials that may come with a contested adoption, preparing the necessary paperwork and guiding you through the family court system. Our attorneys have been involved in hundreds of adoptions and can advise both adoptive and birth parents.
Utah law does not permit attorneys to provide parent-child matching services. We can help with a broad spectrum of adoption cases, including:
- Representing birth parents through the relinquishment process
- Interstate adoptions
- Step-parent, grandparent, and other relative adoptions
- Special needs adoptions
- Surrogacy births
- Foster care adoptions
- Adult adoption
And much more. Whatever your family situation, you can trust the lawyers at our firm to prioritize your needs and the best interests of the child.
Why Choose Us?
Our attorneys have a strong background in Utah adoption law, and we monitor changes to state statutes and case law that could impact your adoption process. With decades of combined experience in the Utah family law courts, we’re very familiar and comfortable before a judge and can advise you in court and out. Adoption agencies may not have the same insight into the legal complexities of adoptions.
We pay close attention to the details of your case so that no errors or omissions delay the process. We also possess foresight and work to prevent potential complications from arising. We provide compassionate, responsive legal representation for biological parents who face the difficult decision to relinquish their child and guide them through the process. For adoptive parents, we help them determine whether to have a closed or open adoption and offer advice on other critical decisions.
