Let our experience guide you through stepparent adoption

March 19, 2015 By Crouch Group

All Texas families with children want the best for them and many choose a second spouse accordingly, hoping that their new spouse will love their child the same way they do and provide them with the security and stability their child needs and craves. As discussed previously on the Dallas Family Law Blog, one of the ways stepparents can provide this security is by adopting their stepchild. Lawyers at our firm can help Dallas families through the process.

Our founding partner has more than 25 years of experience in family law and can use her experience for the benefit of Dallas families looking to adopt their stepchildren and complete their families. In order to ensure the legal relationship is irrevocable, it is very important that the legalities be completed correctly and without any hitches. Lawyers at our firm understand this and work with stepparents and biological parents to ensure the previous parental rights are terminated and the new legal and emotional bonds can be formed without technicalities getting in the way.

There are many aspects in an adoption, such as name changes and paternity, that Dallas families may not be aware of, but lawyers at our firm offer complete legal guidance covering all these issues.

Deciding to give children the security and solid foundation they deserve is always at the forefront of parents’ minds, and adoption is one of the ways this can be achieved. Our law firm can help parents through this legal process so they can enjoy their new family members without worrying about the technicalities.
