Florida Termination of Parental Rights Lawyer
In order to have a stepparent adoption, the parental rights of the biological parent must be terminated. This process can be achieved through a simple voluntary process or through more complicated involuntary termination procedures.
Attorney Christian D. Smed has the skills necessary to properly guide you along the path that will create the most efficient and timely stepparent adoption. If the biological parent is willing to go through the voluntary termination process, you may be able to adopt the child within 30 days.
Involuntary Termination of Parental Rights
There are certain instances when a biological parent refuses to terminate his or her parental rights. Since the termination has to happen prior to the filing of a petition for stepparent adoption, this is a serious roadblock that requires the skill and attention of a professional Orlando lawyer. We will work with you to make the process as smooth as possible and strive to overcome any obstacles in our way.
If you are a biological parent seeking to protect your interests and stop the other parent from terminating your parental rights, we will assist you. There is a strong right to privacy and strong right to have a relationship with your children. This is a fact-intensive matter that should not be undertaken alone.
