Helping King County Families Grow Through Adoption
At Moriarty & Associates, P.L.L.C., our lawyers have years of experience in adoption cases. We provide comprehensive adoption and paternity litigation support.
Adoptions
Our attorneys are proud to help you welcome a child into your family and assist step-parents in formalizing their role in child's life. We understand the Washington Department of Child Services process and adoption guidelines. We can discuss with you what to expect, including timelines, and are available any time to answer your questions from day one until the adoption is formalized in court.
At Moriarty & Associates, we can also help you pursue a third-party custody as an alternative to adoption. The State allows third-parties, such as grandparents or even family friends, custody under specific circumstances. If you have physical custody of your grandchild, niece or nephew, we can help you formalize this arrangement through an adoption or third party custody action. It is important to consult an attorney, as these types of adoptions and cases carry strict legal guidelines.
Paternity Implications
Our Lynnwood legal team can also help you with a paternity action. We provide legal representation for each side of the issue. We can help you establish your parent/child relationship. We can also provide guidance to defend against a paternity claim.
We understand the serious implications of paternity. You could be liable for financial obligations, such as child support, due to a paternity action. Or you could be granted financial support if you can successfully establish the other parent's paternity.
