Adoption Attorneys
An adoption attorney will help you with a step-parent or agency based adoption. At Kennedy, Robbins, Yarbro & Henson, LC, our lawyers will help you with a new addition to your family.
Arkansas and Missouri require the court to approve of any adoption, whether it is an agency based adoption or a step-parent adoption. The adoptive parents must provide a home study and financial affidavit as part of their proof required before the court may grant an adoption. Once adopted, the child is treated in the same manner as a natural born child. This includes the right to inherit from the adoptive parent and also includes the adoptive parent’s obligation for child support in the event of a divorce.
Our adoption attorneys are available to meet with you to discuss your concerns and answer any questions you may have about the adoption process.
If you need legal assistance, or for further information about family law, please or call Kennedy, Robbins, Yarbro & Henson, LC, at (573) 686-2459. Our commitment is to earn your confidence by answering all questions and providing quality representation.
