- AdoptionIf you have children and have remarried, there may be significant benefits to having your children legally adopted by their stepparent. Legal adoption may be necessary to make your children eligible for certain work-related benefits, such as health insurance. It can ensure that they will be legal heirs of your spouse’s estate in the event of an untimely death. It can also strengthen your family unit. Before you take steps to bring about a step-parent adoption, you should seek counsel from an experienced adoption lawyer. The attorneys at Cofsky & Zeidman, LLC, can help.
- Child AbuseWith the exception of some intra-family adoptions, including stepparent adoptions, all adoptive parents must submit to a home study. Furthermore, all adoptive parents and second parent adoptions, including family members, must provide fingerprints and be cleared by all child abuse registries.
