Know Your Rights
If you are considering a stepparent adoption, a grandparent adoption or any other form of adoption, it is important to understand your legal rights. Adoption is a process that creates new legal responsibilities for the adoptive parent and may relinquish certain rights of the child.
For example, when a stepfather adopts a child, the biological father is no longer required to pay ongoing child support. The new adoptive father will take on all of the normal rights and responsibilities associated with fatherhood. We are also able to help people contest an adoption.

Adoptions and Guardianships
Horizon Attorneys & Counselors at Law, PLC, is also able to help establish guardianships in instances where parents are unable to take care of their children. A guardianship is different from an adoption, in that parents still maintain legal rights to their children. However, a guardian will be responsible for the care of the child while the guardianship is in effect. A parent can consent to a guardianship if they feel they are unable to take care of a child, or a case where neglect or abuse is present, the state can appoint a guardian. Our attorneys provide caring counsel in these often delicate situations.
