Grandparent Adoption Arizona
Arizona Grandparent Adoption Attorney
Relative Adoption Lawyer Phoenix
Grandparents often step in when parents are unable to care for their children due to illness, addiction, incarceration, or death. Adoption provides the legal authority to make medical, educational, and life decisions without ongoing court oversight.
Arizona law allows grandparents to adopt through:
-
Private adoption (with parental consent or court-ordered termination)
-
DCS adoption (if the child is in foster care and parental rights have been severed)
In many cases, the court may waive certain home study or certification requirements for grandparents. However, a social study is still typically required unless the court specifically finds it unnecessary.
DCS Adoptions: The State covers all attorney’s fees and costs, and subsidies may be available for children with special needs.
Private Adoptions: Fees vary depending on complexity; contact us to discuss further.
Our grandparent adoption lawyers in Arizona make sure your transition from caregiver to legal parent is as smooth and secure as possible.
