STEP PARENT ADOPTIONS & NAME CHANGES
+OUR EXPERIENCE & EXPERTISE IN STEP PARENT ADOPTIONS & NAME CHANGES WILL HELP TO SIMPLIFY THE PROCESS FOR YOU.
Step Parent Adoptions are generally simpler than other types of adoptions. The Step Parent accepts financial and legal responsibility for his/her spouse's child. The process releases the non-custodial biological parent from all legal parenting responsibilities. The State of California requires consent from the non-custodial parent or proof of abandonment. The process can include changing the child's name.
Name Changes require petioning the court and publication. Name change for a minor child further requires that a non-consenting parent be served notice.
