Stepparent Adoption Lawyer in Augusta, Ga


Considering the special circumstances involved in stepparent adoption, Georgia law awards the spouse of a child’s biological parent the right to adopt. To better understand, when a biological parent dies and the other biological parent remarries, the stepparent may seek to adopt if the living parent agrees in writing. On the other hand, if both biological parents are still living, yet divorced, a stepparent may also file a petition to adopt. In this instance, one of the biological parents must surrender his/her parental rights voluntarily while the other agrees to the adoption in writing. It’s important to understand that children ages 14 or older must also consent in writing when a stepparent wishes to adopt.

While the processes involved in stepparent adoption might appear straightforward, there are a number of scenarios in which an experienced stepparent adoption lawyer can benefit your case. From filing necessary paperwork to obtaining proper consents and negotiating a post-adoption contract, the Boudreaux Law Firm in Augusta, Ga remains a trusted source for many blended families throughout the region, including Martinez and Evans for their family law cases.
