Cailee J. Alderman to Address the Equality for Every Family Act and Adoption Issues in Upcoming CLE Programs

Kogut & Wilson partner Cailee J. Alderman will cover adoption law and parentage topics during two upcoming CLE programs this month.

On April 7 at 2:00 pm CDT, Cailee will speak during a Chicago Bar Association webinar titled “Family Formation in a New Legal Landscape: ART, Surrogacy, and Confirmatory Adoption Under the Equality for Every Family Act.” Her portion of the program, “Equality for Every Family Act: History and Parentage and Divorce Updates,” will focus on recent Domestic Relations developments under the Act, including how changes to parentage and divorce may impact family law practitioners.

On April 8, from 12 – 1 pm CST, Cailee will join four other Guardians ad Litem for Part 2 of an adoption CLE hosted by Chicago Volunteer Legal Services (CVLS). Titled “Adoption FAQs and Unexpected Issues,” the session will take a practical look at challenges that can arise throughout the adoption process, with the panel sharing insight from their experience handling cases in Cook County Adoption Court. Topics will include issues such as unexpected background check results and situations where uncontested matters become contested, along with guidance on how to navigate these developments while continuing to represent the best interests of children.
