I had a request for a series from a good friend of mine and I thought the start of the new year would be a great time to do it.
Are you thinking about starting a family? Did you just have your first child? Do you know someone who just had a baby? Are you a new grandparent?
This series is for you.
I have heard, from many new parents, that they never realized how much LEGAL WORK starting a new family is. There are so many things you need to do and lots of paperwork. The feedback I have received is that new parents are worried that they forgot to do something, or don’t know what they don’t know.
My next few post are geared towards getting you all the information you need so you feel confident that you have everything covered.
Here are the areas of legal interest, pertaining to welcoming a new one, that I’m going to cover in the next few posts:
Planning Phase
1. Day Care
2. Health Insurance-what’s covered
3. Parental Leave
4. Government Programs
5. Wills, Powers of Attorney & Parental Guardianship
After Arrival
1. Birth Certificate
2. Social Security Number
3. Health Insurance
4. Rights to nurse
Back to Work

2. Discrimination & Unfair Treatment
My new parents/grandparents or soon to be parents/grandparents, Anything else you want to hear about? Just drop me a line.
And CONGRATS to all of my friends and family who have recently added or are going to add a new little one to the family!
