The Law Offices of Jason F. Barnes, P.C.- Q. On a private adoption in Utah, can I accomplish this without a lawyer? I just cannot simply afford one.
- A: You are welcome to contact our office and we can discuss this further. 801-546-3874.
- Q. I became pregnant through sexual assault, can I have the fathers parental rights terminated? Where do I terminate?
- A: What you are asking is highly complex and the correct answer is fact dependent. Please have your sister contact our office so we can discuss the same. Phone #801-546-3874.
- Q. Are siblings required to be adopted together?
- A: The quick answer is no, but if you are talking about foster care adoptions, the DCFS will give preference to those who are willing to do so, for obvious reasons. If you would like to further discuss, please call our office at 801-546-3874.
- Q. Husband previously married and raised ex's daughter as his own. Can he still adopt even though married to others now?
- A: Yes, there is a chance that he could adopt her. Give us a call so we can discuss this in detail and more fully determine the answer to your question. PH: 801-546-3874
- Q. How do I go about adopting a young man who I have been guardian of for twelve of his thirteen years?
- A: Great questions, but in order to answer your questions, there are a lot of personal questions I need to ask you, which I am sure you don't want out in the open. Please call our office at 801-546-3874 and ask for myself, Jason Barnes.
- Q. What is the process for a step parent to adopt the child of his/her spouse?
- A: To answer your first question, you can start the adoption process now. However, please understand that 78B-6-136.5 states: (2)(a) If the prospective adoptive parent is the spouse of the pre-existing parent, a final decree of adoption may not be entered until the child has lived in the home of that prospective adoptive parent for one year, unless, based on a finding of good cause, the court orders that the final decree of adoption may be entered at an earlier time. (b) The court may, based on a finding of good cause, order that the final decree of adoption be entered at an earlier time than described in Subsection (1). The answer to your second question is much more complex, and will require a legal analysis. Sorry. We offer free initial consultations, most often, for adoption cases. Please call us at 801-546-3874, and we will be able to be of further assistance to you.

- A: Your question, although seemingly simple, is very complicated and requires a lot more facts and analysis.

The consult would be free. Jason F. Barnes 801-546-3874
