REPUTABLE GUARDIANSHIP & ADOPTION ATTORNEY SERVING YORKVILLE FAMILIES
Families come in all shapes and sizes and sometimes change. What matters is that children are well cared for and afforded stability.
The Law Office of Richard C. Claahsen has extensive experience handling both guardianship and adoption cases and we are happy to explain both in detail if you schedule an appointment today.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ADOPTION & GUARDIANSHIP?
Both adoptions and guardianships grant legal parental rights, but in slightly different ways. Put simply, an adoption severs all legal ties between a biological parent and child and grants sole parental rights to the adoptive parents.
Guardianships, on the other hand, grant parental rights to an adult who is not the biological parent, while allowing the biological parent to retain some of their parental rights.
DO I NEED AN ATTORNEY FOR EITHER THE GUARDIANSHIP OR ADOPTION PROCESS?
The laws surrounding both guardianship and adoption are notoriously complex and are not easy for the layperson to interpret. Both processes can be easily derailed by mistakes in paperwork, missed deadlines, miscommunications between parties and agencies, and more, which is is why it is highly recommended that you retain a competent family law attorney early on.
We can help you avoid common pitfalls that delay or prevent a successful guardianship or adoption and serve as a guide from start to finish.
