Thank you for the meassage.

If all parties are in agreement a termination or parental rights and step-parent adoption may be performed at the same time. One short hearing will be required.

You must remember that at the time that parental rights are terminated, all obligations of support cease as well.

You can go ahead and start your stepparent adoption. If your ex consents, it is a real quick process. Feel free to call me with any questions.

We call that a step parent adoption. It's pretty easy for a lawyer to help you with this, but hard to do on your own. Your X would have to consent in writing to giving up his rights.
