Can my spouse adopt my child without the biological fathers consent in Georgia? This question is critical, and the answer isnt simple. In general, the biological fathers surrender is usually required unless specific conditions apply, such as abandonment, neglect, or failure to provide child support.
It typically takes two weeks to a month to complete. If theres any opposition to the adoption, especially from the other biological parent, it becomes a contested case. This can docHubly lengthen the process, taking months or even years to resolve through the court system.
In Georgia, a step-parent can adopt a child born out of wedlock if the biological fathers parental rights are terminated or he consents. The adoption petition must be filed in juvenile or superior court, including consent forms and background checks.
