That was A LOT of help! We've filed and the citations for the termination and the motion for enforcement (so I can get the $12K judgement) are in the mail as of 2/3/12 to the process server in Los Angeles (where the BF is)! Home Study was waived as well as any ad litem! March 15, 2012 is our court...

Will the judge appoint an Ad Litem for the child or do we have to hire our own attorney? Also, is a home study required? I also live in Fort Bend county and my husband is seeking to adopt my daughter who is now about to turn 4. My daughter's father have financially supported her, but is willing...

Once you file your paperwork they will automatically order an Adoption Social Study. (yes, the new law in Texas is that with ANY adoption case a home study will be ordered). This is done through the Domestic Relations Office (in Harris Co.) You don’t have to do anything, they will contact you...

I have never been told his rights were taken. I have signed papers from months before the divorce of his saying he wanted to give up rights, and a note saying he didn't want me to have his address, but nothing legal. But tax season next year, this is what we are doing! No matter what it takes or...

I am in the process of doing this in Brazoria county and actually should have our final hearing in the next couple of weeks. I got all my documents through reliableadoption.com They were extremely helpful and they walked me through everything. It was pretty much like having a lawyer. They correct...

My husband of 5 years wants to adopt my 13 year old daughter. We went to our local court house but they don't carry the papers. They gave me a bunch of websites to try and I cannot find them on those either. If anyone knows of a way to find these papers or have some they can email me we would...
