Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada

adoption in Nevada

I have a 28 year old neice who is pregnant and has asked me to adopt her child. I am willing to adopt but I live in california. I consulted an attorney in California and was informed that I need to get an attorney in las vegas. How complicated is the process and what kind of cost would i be looking at?

If you have consent from the natural father and Welfare waives the home study, it is $1500. If you do not have that consent from the natural father and/or a home study is required on you it is $3000.

Hello,

Generally, the process would require approval from both the father and mother and would typically take about 1-3 months to finalize.
