STEPPARENT ADOPTION

Adopting a stepchild is the most common form of adoption.  The step-parent, in essence, agrees to become the legal parent and fully responsible for their spouse’s child.  This process requires terminating the parental rights of the non-custodial parent.  Once the adoption is complete, the non-custodial parent no longer has any rights or obligations for the child, including child support. Very few family law attorneys have the necessary experience to appropriately handle step-parent adoption.  Don’t get stuck with playing guessing games, put your trust in Blagof Law Firm get you the results you need.
