Step-Parent Adoption

Experienced California, Step-Parent Adoption Lawyer

If you are in a marriage that includes a child from a previous relationship, you and your spouse may be considering adoption as a means of assuming sole legal responsibility for the welfare of the child. Step-parent adoption is a legal means of allowing family members, including spouses, grandparents, and other extended relations to assume legal and financial responsibility of a child. It is a legal process that requires no adoption agency. An experienced family law attorney can help facilitate the process by making sure the records and applications are in order. In instances when the adoption is being challenged by a non-custodial biological parent, an experience family law attorney can make the difference in a successful step-parent adoption.
