Termination of Parental Rights
Termination of parental rights is a serious legal matter that permanently severs the parent-child relationship. We provide representation in cases involving:
- Voluntary Termination: When a parent chooses to relinquish their rights, often in connection with adoption proceedings
- Involuntary Termination: Court-ordered termination due to abandonment, abuse, neglect, or other statutory grounds
- Termination for Adoption: Representing parties when parental rights must be terminated to facilitate adoptions by step-parents or other parties
Adoption Proceedings
We guide families through various types of adoption cases, including:
- Step-Parent Adoptions: The most common type in Texas, allowing step-parents to legally adopt their spouse's children
- Relative Adoptions: When grandparents, aunts, uncles, or other relatives seek to adopt a child
- Adult Adoptions: Legal adoption of adults for inheritance or other family purposes
- Contested Cases: When parties disagree about the adoption or termination proceedings
These proceedings require strict adherence to Texas statutory requirements, including proper notice, consent, and court approval. Our team ensures all legal requirements are met while advocating for outcomes that serve the child's best interests.

What Our Clients Are Saying
Wonderful Family Law Attorney - GO HIRE ADAM! I hired Adam from out of state to represent me on a complicated child custody case. He and his associates were wonderful to work with, skillful, knowledgeable and caring.
I sincerely felt that my best interests were served. Hiring Adam was the best decision I could have made. Adam was brilliant in court and did a ton of preparation work for my case.
Lauren handled both my divorce and my custody modification case. She was so helpful and understanding during a very trying time in our lives. She always communicated in a timely and clear manner with me, made sure that I understood everything, and was very supportive during the mediation and hearings.
I cannot recommend her enough. Lauren sincerely cares about her clients and it shows.
The odds were stacked against me... and I prevailed. I can't thank Adam and his staff of professionals enough for their guidance and extraordinary efforts to help me win my case.
Best legal decision that I have ever made.
Most ethical, honest attorney I have ever met! Lauren handled my child custody case and was completely honest and upfront about what was possible and not possible. She was always available when I called or had a question. I would recommend her to anyone… her honesty and integrity are beyond reproach. I have my kids safe with me. I can't recommend Lauren enough. I would give her 10 stars!
Mr. Dietrich gave me truthful facts of what he could and could not do for my case. He never led me on or told me what I “wanted to hear.” His honesty is what convinced me I wanted to hire him to represent me. He has done everything he said he could and would do on our case.
We are treated like real people. He knows what he is doing and enjoys it. I highly recommend Adam.
