Legal Question in Family Law in Minnesota

Re: adoption

If the biological parent is adjudicated as the child's father, you must file a Petition to terminate parental rights and seek a step parent azdoption. It is a two step process, but it would require serving the biological parent with the Petition.

If the biological parent agrees, it may be done simply by agreement of the parties.

For a consultation call 952.746.2122.

Re: adoption

Step-parent adoptions are relatively straight forward if you can get the bilological parent to consent. If you do not know where his biological father is currently located, it will be a little more difficult, but could still be accomplished. Please contact me if you and your husband would like a free initial consultation.
