Step-parent adoption in Georgia can be a straight forward
process; other times several challenges may arise, including:
Consent Issues – If the noncustodial biological parent refuses to consent, the step-parent must seek termination of their rights, which can be legally challenging.
Proving Parental Unfitness – Courts require strong evidence of neglect, abandonment, or other grounds to involuntarily terminate parental rights.
Contested Adoptions – If the biological parent contests the adoption, legal battles can prolong the process.
Home Study – While usually waived, courts may require backgrounds checks and additional evaluations.
Legal assistance is often required to navigate these challenges effectively. If you would like more information or assistance with your step-parent adoption, we are here to help.
