Houston Family Law Attorney

Child adoptions

The process of adopting children can be very complex. Mr. Lybarger is a skilled family law attorney in Houston who has handled many step-parent adoptions, adoptions involving a relative of the child, and other adoptions where people, having a close relationship to the child, become adoptive parents.

As a Houston family law attorney, Mr. Lybarger has extensive experience with grand-parent adoptions. Should a parent be unable to fulfill his or her duties as a child’s guardian, the grand-parents may step in and accept legal responsibility. All parties must consent to this arrangement, or have their parental rights terminated, and there are strict laws in place to ensure the child is placed in capable hands. From leading a Houston family law firm, Mr. Lybarger is extremely well versed in the Texas State adoption process and strives diligently to promote a positive outcome for all involved.

At this time, Mr. Lybarger does not handle agency adoptions or international adoptions involving children who must be brought into the United States at his Houston family law firm. International adoption cases can be referred to other qualified Houston family law attorneys who regularly handle international adoptions. However, if you are contemplating a private adoption, where parties are willing to yield their parental rights, Mr. Lybarger can assist you in that regard.
