Adoption Services in Phoenix

People typically turn to lawyers when problems arise. However, there are some legal matters requiring the assistance of a lawyer that are actually very positive. Stepparent adoption is one of these. Even though adoption is typically sought out well after a strong bond has been built between the stepparent and the stepchild, it is still a very exciting time for the family.

At the Law Offices of Scott David Stewart, our attorneys are happy to be of assistance to you and your family during the stepparent adoption process. We bring a level of experience to these matters that allows us to help you through the process efficiently and effectively. Contact our Phoenix, Arizona, law office to schedule a consultation.

The Purpose of Stepparent Adoption

Stepmothers and stepfathers play an important role in the raising of their stepsons and stepdaughters. In fact, in many families, the "step" in "stepparent" is removed. The stepparent is simply a parent, having no less impact on the child's life than a biological parent.

Unfortunately, stepparents do not have the same rights as biological parents in the eyes of the law. The purpose of adoption is to provide stepparents with the same rights as a biological parent.

Dedicated to Helping You Through the Adoption Process

While the stepparent adoption tends to be fairly straightforward, there are challenges that can arise. If the biological parent disputes the adoption, we may need to take the additional step of terminating that parent's rights. That is a step we are willing to take to strengthen your family.
