A:
If you've received a notice and citation with incorrect details such as the minor's name, date of birth, or a parent's name, it's important to address these errors promptly. Inaccurate information can potentially affect the legality of the notice and the proceedings that follow. You should contact the issuing court or your legal representative to inform them of the mistakes and request corrections to ensure that your rights are fully protected.
Regarding adoption procedures, notices typically need to be provided in writing to all relevant parties before the process can move forward. This ensures that everyone involved is properly informed and has the opportunity to participate or raise any concerns. For a closed adoption to be considered legal, it generally requires the consent of both biological parents, unless one parent has been legally disqualified or their rights have been terminated.
It's crucial to consult with a family law attorney who can provide guidance tailored to your specific situation. They can help you navigate the complexities of the legal system, correct any inaccuracies in official documents, and ensure that all legal requirements are met for a valid adoption.
