Multi-State Adoption Lawyers at Stange Law Firm

Multi-State Adoption Attorneys

Many children are without a parent for a variety of reasons, but in the end, they need someone who can care for them and give them the attention and financial support they need to thrive. If you are up against any situation that calls for solid legal counsel on adoption, please get in touch with Stange Law Firm, PC. We know the law and understand first-hand how the adoption system works.

Our attorneys focus exclusively on family law and are familiar with the local courts. They have handled many adoption cases and have the knowledge and experience to listen to your concerns. The adoption process can be heart-wrenching, but you can rest assured that at the Stange Law Firm, PC, you will receive counsel through every step.

We can also help you in stepparent adoption proceedings.  We have experience helping stepparents adopt.  We also have experience helping biological parent contest stepparent adoptions where warranted.

Adopting a child is a very big decision and should be very well thought out. If you have adopted a child or are thinking about adopting, we have articles that might help: How expensive is the adoption process?, Fathers’ Rights on display in state’s recent adoption law change and Adoptive parents are given custody in baby Veronica case. You can also listen to our podcast titled: Why adoptions are often complex cases.

We also have a legal summary on the issue that might help you understand the topic more: Adoption and surrogacy agreements in a nutshell.

Practical, Assertive Action in the best interests of the Child and Financial Support

We are extremely serious when it comes to adoption. The law takes into consideration “the best interest of the child” with issues of child custody. Our attorneys are ready to take the actions necessary to uphold this law. Finances are another important part of raising children and we take a practical approach in adoption cases. Grandparents or others wanting to adopt a child should be able to make important decisions and have access to child support and take advantage of tax deductions, when appropriate and possible.

Every adoption case is unique and is handled on a case-by-case basis. You will be treated with individual care and respect at the Stange Law Firm, PC.  To read more on this topic, you can read our article titled: Missouri Legal Summary on Adoptions.

ABOUT

Representing Clients in Divorce & Family Matters

We also handle many other family law matters, including but not limited to:

Dissolution of Marriage
Unfortunately, there are times when a marriage is irretrievably broken and a divorce is the only option. We can help with your uncontested, contested, simple or complex divorce case.
Legal Separation
There are some instances where married parties are separated, but are unsure whether their marriage can be reconciled or may later need to be dissolved. We can help with a legal separation if this is the case.
Annulment
In certain circumstances, a party may be able to seek an annulment if there are circumstances that led to a party being fraudulently induced into entering a marriage.
Family Law
Unfortunately, there are times when a marriage is irretrievably broken and a divorce is the only option. We can help with your uncontested, contested, simple or complex divorce case.
Collaborative Law/Mediation
If you are looking for an amicable resolution to your divorce or family law matter, we have attorneys who can help you with a collaborative family law case or mediation.
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements
These agreements help couples make critical decisions about their relationships, just in case. While prenuptial agreements are drafted before a marriage, postnuptial agreements are drafted during the marriage, usually when circumstances change.
Paternity Law/Mediation
With approximately forty-percent of all children being born out of wedlock, we represent numerous unmarried parents in child custody and child support disputes. These cases are the twenty-first century divorce and extremely common.
Guardianships and conservatorships
We also represent clients in matters of guardianships and conservatorships, helping them protect the people they love — especially when those people can no longer care for themselves. Our work in this area often involves people facing physical and mental illnesses, alcoholism and addiction.
Surrogacy Agreements
We can help clients negotiate surrogacy agreements, drafting and executing all related documents as well as resolving any conflicts that may arise.
Step-parent adoption
We represent parents in step-parent adoptions, which usually occur when a parent marries or remarries after the birth of a biological child. Step-parent adoptions help bring families closer together by creating a solid family unit.

Orders of Protection
We can help you in legal proceedings involving restraining orders.
