Mary Basta
Head of Family Law
Our family law team can assist in making the adoption process as seamless as possible, from start to finish.
Adoption is a process where a person becomes the legal parent of a child who is not biologically related.
There are different types of adoption applications, including stepparent adoption and adult child adoption applications, all of which our family lawyers can assist with.
In any adoption application, certain criteria must be met prior to an order being granted by the Family Court, along with the completion of specific documents, filed in support of such an application.
Adoption procedures and laws vary in each state, so it’s important to consult a lawyer with the experience and knowledge that best suits your circumstance.
The legal adoption process involves working with the Family Court as well as other relevant agencies, which Culshaw Miller Lawyers will manage and guide you through at each stage.
