Child Custody and Adoption

Child custody is frequently an issue in divorce. While it is often considered in terms of determining the primary parent for a child (and parenting time for the parent without full custody), it also arises in paternity cases, stepparent adoption, and the adoption of children by other relatives. You may desire an attorney for a private adoption as well so you can be assured that all was completed correctly.

Choate Law Firm, PLLC provides legal representation in child custody and adoption matters. As an experienced family law firm, we address many instances of child custody and divorce. However, we also manage adoption and custody by people who are not a child’s natural parents. That includes adoptions by other relatives, including stepparents.

We are known for a personalized and strategic approach to law that proves vital in these cases, especially if custody is in dispute. When there are no disputes, just details to work out, we assure that agreements are complete, fair, and in the best interest of the children.
