Parental Rights & Children

While many adoption cases are uncontested, there are plenty of situations in which there are opposing parties fighting for the custody of the child. If you are looking to adopt a child whose biological parent or parents is still alive, then they must willingly waive their parental rights or have their rights terminated prior to the child being adopted.

A biological parent's parental rights can be terminated if:

The child is abandoned or if there is signs of gross neglect
There is evidence of drug use or criminal activity by the parents
The biological parent or parents is unable to provide a stable environment for the child

Our firm also represents individuals who are fighting to maintain their parental rights. If the court is trying to strip you of your parental rights, you need to retain legal counsel immediately to represent your best interests.
