Guiding Stepparents Through Adoption

At Family Law Group, INC., we routinely guide clients through the stepparent adoption process in Livermore and the surrounding area. While this is typically an exciting time for the family, it can also be an emotional one. We enjoy helping our clients through the process and work diligently to ensure that the adoptions proceed in a smooth, efficient and stress-free manner.

A stepparent adoption usually takes place in one of two ways:

1. A biological parent gives up his or her parental rights and consents to the adoption, typically to waive child support obligations
2. A biological parent has failed to support or contact the child for at least one year; the other parent may file for termination of the missing parent’s parental rights

Contact our highly experienced attorneys for assistance with the stepparent adoption process in California. We are one of the Bay Area’s premier exclusive family law firms, devoting our practice exclusively to this important area of law.

While stepparent adoptions tend to happen rather quickly once the biological parent’s rights are terminated, the path to achieving this can be long and difficult for some families.
