5. Instructions: Scenario:
In the year 2010 Sarah & Jim were unmarried but living
together in New Jersey. In 2011 baby Jane was born. Jim was
present for Jane's birth and both Sarah and Jim are listed as the
biological parents on Jane's birth certificate. Sarah, Jim, and
Jane were a happy family for 3 years. Jim's parents frequently
visited Jane at Jim and Sarah's home and they babysat her many
times. She is their only beloved grandchild. In 2015, before
Jane's fourth birthday, Sarah and Jim broke up. Sarah moved
with Jane to California. Jim has not seen Jane or Sarah since
they left for California because he does not know their address.
Jim and Jim's parents paid for a detective to find Sarah and Jane
but the detective could not find them. It is now 2016 and Jim
saw in the California Herald newspaper online that Sarah and
Millionaire Melissa, the black lesbian owner of a mega-vitamins
Fortune 500 company are getting married. Their marriage is the
first celebrated lesbian marriage in the county since California's
recent passage of a same-sex marriage act. In the announcement
it states that Melissa loves little Jane like her own daughter and
she will be adopting her as soon as possible to make her the heir
to her mega-vitamins fortune. Jim is upset and does not want
Jane to be adopted, he would like to re-establish his father-
daughter relationship but he does not know what to do next. He
has come to your law firm for advice. The attorney wants to
help Jim but he has only done wills and bankruptcy. The
attorney remembers that your cover letter states you are
particularly interested in "fathers' rights". The attorney comes
to you to help describe how Jim might be helped. Jim's parents
are willing to pay the attorney however much it takes to help
Jack.
ASSIGNMENT: Write a 5-7 paragraph essay answering the
following questions based on your reading of trends and history
of adoption rulings in the Family Law Nutshell series:
Can Jim object to the adoption on the basis that Millionaire

6. Melissa is black? How might the court respond?
Can Jim object to the adoption because Millionaire Melissa is a
lesbian/homosexual? What might the court say?
What should Jim do next to establish his parental rights?
Would a petition in the California county where the wedding
announcement was made help?
What about a putative father registry?
Based on the Supreme Courts' decisions in Quilloin v. Walcott,
Caban v. Mohammed, and Lehr v. Robertson how might the
court view (favorably, unfavorably) Jim's relationship with
Jane?
According to the Uniform Adoption Act of 1994 and the 2002
Parentage Act does Sarah need to notify Jim formally of
Millionaire Melissa's intentions?
Is the newspaper wedding announcement enough notice?
Is Jim's consent needed?
What are the rights, if any, of Jim's parents if Millionaire
Melissa succeeds in adopting Jane?

Marital Separation Agreement
Ed and Molly were married 9 years ago. They have one child,
Roberta, who is 6 1/2 years old. Ed and Molly cannot get along,
and they blame each other for destroying the relationship.
Divorce is the only thing that they agree upon.
In spite of their differences, Ed and Molly want to work out a
solution in a low-cost, private, and confidential way.
Ed is a self-employed business consultant. The business has few
tangible assets: a Mac, desk, and some books. The intangible
property has no market value and consists mostly of goodwill.

7. Molly is an attorney, but she has not practiced since she became
pregnant with Roberta. She will probably need maintenance
from Ed.
The two have not agreed on custody, parenting, or health
insurance matters on Roberta. Support is not an issue because it
is based on the official state statutory guidelines. Selecting a
custody arrangement and designing a parenting schedule is a top
priority.
They own a house in your city and state, a 401k plan, a savings
account, a 2010 Dodge pick-up, and a 2015 Toyota Corolla. Ed
received a $50,000.00 inheritance before the parties were
married. The parties must decide what is marital property.
In keeping with the statutory and common law provisions of
your state, prepare a Marital Separation Agreement for Ed and
Molly.
