Carmichael Family Law and Consulting

It takes a village to raise a child. When a parent is faced with the short-term inability to care for a child, he or she may need to name a relative or friend as a temporary caregiver. Carmichael Family Law can help you meet the legal requirements, so that your child's caregiver can get your child medical treatment, education, and other needed services.

If a child's parents agree that you should care for the child for the long-term, Guardianship can provide stability for the child and help you provide him or her with the care she or he needs.

When Guardianship isn't an option and you are ready to make a long-term commitment to a child, Third Party Custody may be your path to stability and security for the child.

Adoption offers children a loving home and families an opportunity to create lasting bonds. Whether you're considering adoption or seeking information, it's essential to understand the process, requirements, and the support available to you.
