When adoption attorney, Randall Hicks, created The Stepparent Adoption Center, it was to make the focus of his law practice clear. Not divorce. Not child custody. Just adoptions. And not even all adoptions, but specifically step parent adoption, with its unique laws and procedures. To learn more about step parent adoption in San Diego County, please visit StepparentAdoptionCenter.com for a complete review. (We also serve surrounding counties from this office.) Some step children are over the age of 18 and that is a different legal process called adult adoption. To learn about that, please visit our RandallHicks.com website.
We view adoption as the ultimate loving act—legally creating a family—and we strive to make the process smooth, simple, and emotionally rewarding. To keep services accessible to everyone, we have a flat fee of $2,500 for step parent adoptions that do not involve issues like an objecting birth parent. The flat fee even includes court fees and our costs, so you know exactly your total cost in advance. And our free consultations are a rarity among attorneys, who usually just do a meet and greet for their version of a free consultation. Our consultations are in depth. We review the legal process and how the unique facts of your case are affected by the laws governing step parent adoption, including complicated subjects like unfindable or non-consenting absent parents.
Please take the time to read our reviews as we have no better advertisement than our past clients. Then head over to our website and learn more. We look forward to serving you.
