San Diego Adoption Lawyer

Adoptions and Legal Guardianship

Adoption is the process of establishing a parent-child relationship under the law where an individual, other than the birth parent, takes responsibility for a child's physical, material, and emotional well-being. Our attorneys can help arrange for the beginning of the adoption process and continue assisting you through to the finalization of the adoption with the court. If you are considering adopting a child, a family lawyer from Fischer & Van Thiel can be there to help you with agency, private, step-parent and second-parent adoptions.

Although the designation of a guardian for your minor child is most often taken care of in a will, there are instances when establishing a guardianship can be difficult. A Family law attorney with Fischer & Van Thiel understands the complexities of establishing guardianship and can work with your to achieve your goals.
