These complex cases can involve:

The caregiver’s deteriorating health, financial capacity, or support system

When Might These Cases Arise?
We guide families through:
-
Carefully assessing and communicating the situation to minimize legal risk
-
Petitioning the court or engaging DCS/CPS without triggering unnecessary findings
-
Facilitating placement transitions in a way that protects everyone involved
-
Preventing or defending against allegations of abuse or neglect
-
Providing emotional clarity and steady legal guidance throughout the process
We understand the fear, grief, and pressure that come with these cases. Our goal is not only to protect you legally, but also to support your family’s dignity through an incredibly difficult decision.
EverHome Adoptions Supports You
Why These Cases Require Specialized Legal Support
When a caregiver—whether an adoptive parent or legal guardian—tells the court or the state they can no longer maintain the placement, the system often responds with scrutiny. Courts may assume a failed placement means the caregiver is unfit or has harmed the child, even when the decision is being made responsibly and out of necessity.
Without skilled legal representation, caregivers may face:
-
Formal abuse or neglect findings
-
Involvement in dependency or severance proceedings
-
Reputational harm or future disqualification from adoption/foster care
-
Emotional fallout for both caregiver and child
We help you avoid these outcomes by presenting your situation to the court or agency with clarity, legal precision, and appropriate documentation.
Post-Adoption or Post-Guardianship Breakdown
Rescinding Adoptions, Revoking Guardianships & Requesting DCS Involvement
Adoption and guardianship are intended to bring stability and permanency to a child’s life. But in rare and heartbreaking situations, a placement may break down—and families may find themselves needing to rescind an adoption, revoke a guardianship, or request DCS (Arizona) or CPS (Nevada) involvement after the legal relationship is in place.
These cases are highly sensitive and legally complex. If not handled with great care, they can lead to allegations of abuse or neglect against the very caregiver seeking help.
At EverHome Adoptions, we are among the very few legal teams offering this specialized service. We've guided many families across Arizona through these emotionally intense situations, safeguarding their rights while protecting children from unnecessary harm. Our approach is discreet, compassionate, and focused on the long-term well-being of everyone involved.
