Representing Your Rights in Adoption and Paternity Proceedings
Adoptions
Today's adoptions are not as straightforward as they used to be. There are domestic adoptions, international adoptions, stepparent adoptions and grandparent adoptions. While the goals are simple and straightforward, there often are complex legal situations to be analyzed and dealt with.
Whether you are a couple wishing to adopt for the first time, or a stepparent who is ready to legally adopt your spouse's children from a previous relationship, our lawyers can help you. We can also analyze alternative approaches such as custody or guardianship.
Contact the Law Office of Ian R. Arcus for experienced adoption representation, and let us help you bring your family together.
Paternity
With the advent of DNA paternity testing, we now have scientific means of determining fatherhood.
If you are ready to take on the responsibilities of being a father, or you are seeking to have your child's father be made legally responsible, the Law Office of Ian R. Arcus can help. We look forward to advising you on a course of action to protect your rights.
A developing area in the paternity field is known as equitable estoppel. In spite of the availability of scientific determinations, a court can refuse to allow someone to pursue or deny their paternal rights under certain circumstances. Our office can provide valuable advice on approaching this delicate issue.
