Types of Adoption

Adoptions can be cooperative, contested or even “open.” Our Rhode Island adoption lawyers have effectively represented many couples, individuals, and step parents through the adoption process. For example, we spend time with each client and offer counseling and advice based on each unique situation. Past clients have appreciated how much our Rhode Island adoption attorneys listen.

Attorney Moyer can effectively assist you with:

Preventing the loss of parental rights

Reasons for Adoption

The most common adoption in Rhode Island is cooperative in nature, where all parties agree on the results. On the other hand, there are several common grounds to grant a “contested” adoption. For example, whether a parent is abusive, has abandoned a child, or has failed to pay meaningful support for a child for several months is also relevant.

Adoption is a life-changing event and should not be left to an inexperienced attorney. Attorney Moyer and our family law team can fight for your best interests.

He will tirelessly work for the best outcome for you and your family. I'm extremely satisfied with the work Attorney Don Moyer did on my case and highly recommend him to anyone who needs representation in a family matter.

“Professional across the board.”
Don and his team walked me through my divorce process from start to finish. He was always available, either through email, phone, or text. I appreciated his making concerted efforts to meeting my time preference while also keeping me grounded with the court system delays. I never felt pressured to take one route or the other, he was patient in explaining the circumstances for all of my decisions, and I never felt like he didn't have my best interests with all of my representation. Professional across the board, I will undoubtedly seek his council should the need arise in the future.
