When going through an adoption attorney you have to schedule many appointments, and you get to meet the family you are adopting from or to. And you have to sign papers.
Yes, you can give a child up for adoption without going through an adoption agency. It's called a private/independent adoption.
Yes you have to go they Chickasaw adoption process!
The short answer is ,it depends. If you are going through a reputable local agency you might not need a lawyer, but anything more complicated, such as an international or private adoption, yes, you would be better off at least consulting with an attorney. They can walk you through the process and protect your rights in case of any problems.
Juno was going to have an abortion but couldn't go through with it. However she still felt like she didn't want the child herself and put it up for adoption
The rights for a woman who signed adoption papers when she was very young vary by state, but if everything was done legally there is usually no going back. A family law attorney in the state where the papers were signed can let you know if it was done legally or not.
Yes, that is a family law case.
Your going to have to give a bit more detail to this question. If you mean adopt your children you could sign over custody but a court must approve such. If you mean adopt them if something happens to you then you can put such things into your will and it may be a good idea to also make him your power of attorney. However if you mean adoption in the normal sense then he will just have to go through the normal procedures. Normally going through a adoption agency is the best way. However I must warn you it is much harder for someone unmarried to adopt or if you happen to be a homosexual couple married or not can make it next to impossible.
There are a lot of factors involved in this.Was the adoption open, or was it sealed?Was it a foreign or domestic adoption?Was it a private adoption or through the state1. If the adoption was sealed, you're going to have to go through the courts to get anything. You may be limited as to how much information you can get, if any. If it was open, there may be info available (names, SSN, possibly other identifying information)2. If it's a foreign adoption, you're going to need to follow up with adoption agency. They may be able to put you in touch with people in the country you were adopted from. There may be little or no info available.3a. For a private adoption, you were probably adopted as an infant and have no memory of your birth family. You'll need to get in touch with the agency that you were adopted from, and possibly the courts to get at your adoption records.3b. If you were adopted through the state, you may have been adopted late enough to have memories that will help you track them down... extended family, or names that you can google, or look for on facebook. Otherwise see 3a.
Of course. You should ask your attorney whether or not it can impact the divorce settlement.
If you wish to file it without going through law enforcement channels, put it in writing and mail, or deliver, it to his office.
I'd suggest going to a family law attorney in Florida and discussing the situation.
Probably not. Better to hire an attorney if you think you have a marketable invention.
