Termination is always to be considered an extreme action by the Court, but these facts would seem to provide an fairly easy and direct route for the the Court to terminate and approve a step parent adoption. I have handled many step parent adoptions over the past ten years. I am a board certified specialist in the field of family law, practicing in the general Houston area.
