- Q. My son wants his stepfather to adopt him, but my son and I are Native American. Can we still file for ourselves in Utah?
- A: Hello. ICWA is applicable and very complicated when it comes to adoption cases, and the forms on the court's website are for basic adoptions. Honestly, I am surprised that the court's website has adoption forms at all, as there are many varieties of adoption cases and overall they are complicated. If done wrong, the decree could be overturned. Unfortunately, people are lulled into a false sense of security because they received the forms from the court, but the court cannot give legal advice, nor are they aware of all the facts and helping you make decisions based upon your particular fact pattern.
- 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.
