This week on Lisa on the Law, Lisa Wexler covers adoption questions for the first caller. How can you find a parent’s biological father if they were adopted? What are open birth records and do all states have them? What is a voluntary adoption registry? Also, is the birth father always on the birth certificate? And for the next caller, Lisa answers who has rights to deduct taxes for a dependent when there are two conflicting legal authorities ie: tax law vs divorce law? And how do you modify a settlement agreement if circumstances change? #adoption #adoptionregistry #settlementagreementmondifications
