Helping Bring Families Together
Tamara K. Holden, P.A., Family Law Offices helps join families through stepparent adoption. This firm takes joy in giving children stability in a loving home with parents who are committed to providing them a positive future.
The Stepparent Adoption Process
Stepparent adoptions are usually straightforward. One biological parent has terminated parental rights and the stepparent wishes to have full legal responsibility of the child. It can be a fairly simple formality of filing the right documents with the court and attending the necessary hearings.
That said, the adoption might be overturned if not completed correctly. Stepparent adoption lawyer Tamara K. Holden guides clients through the process. She helps to legally bring families together by:
- Filing all paperwork accurately and on time
- Adhering to all statutory rules in order to prevent the adoption from being overturned
- Attending hearings as your representative
- Answering legal questions from the court
- Completing the termination of parental rights, if necessary
- And much more
Adult Stepparent Adoption
It is possible for an adult to be adopted by his or her stepparent. In these cases, the biological parent does not need to terminate his rights, but is notified of the adoption hearing. Although rare, adult stepparent adoptions can bring closure to a stepparent and child that have lived as a biological family for many years and want to make their relationship official. This firm can help make it possible.
