Adopting a child gives the adoptive parents the full rights and responsibilities of a birth parent. As such, in the event of a divorce, proceedings in relation to the child will be the same as those concerning care arrangements for biological children.
As adoptive parents, you will need to agree with whom the child shall live and contact arrangements. All decisions regarding the child’s health, education, and welfare will need to be made jointly. If you cannot come to an agreement, then the court may make orders to determine any issues.
As top family lawyers, Vardags can provide expert and sensitive legal advice with regards to managing difficult children disputes.
