Yes, a stepparent can legally adopt their stepchild after marrying the childs biological parent. The process typically involves the following steps: Consent: The biological parent must consent to the adoption.
An uncontested step-parent adoption takes approximately 3 months from first visit to an attorney until final order of adoption. A contested matter will take longer. Even if it were uncontested, it would be a terrible idea for a person to attempt an adoption without the assistance of a knowledgeable attorney.
The court may allow a stepparent adoption to go forward without getting the other parents written consent if: The other parent has died. The other parent signs a waiver saying they do not want to be involved with the adoption. The other parent signs a form saying they are not the childs biological parent.
The important thing is that the child must have only two legal parents, which means the other biological parent must either consent to the adoption or have their rights legally terminated.
The IRS, who of course is the do-all and end-all in terms of divorce and law, says this: ``Relationships established by marriage are not ended by death or divorce. `` So your stepchild is still your stepchild. He will legally be your stepchild until -- well, forever, because the relationships do not end by death.
