It is a rather complicated process and would require a contested trial if the other parent will not agree to terminate their parental rights. You would be seeking to terminate parental rights by filing that petition with the court and following up after that Termination of Parental Rights with a Step Parent adoption.
The process is quite simple if the othee parent afgrees to the termination and step parent
adoption.
