Stepparent adoption covers when a current spouse or partner wants to become the legal parent of a child who is not biologically theirs. A solicitor guides the process through the Family Court, coordinating social work assessments, the child’s welfare and evidence about the suitability of the placement. They prepare and file the necessary documents, obtain consent from birth parents where possible, address any objections, and help finalize an Adoption Order so the stepparent gains parental rights and duties.
Adoptive orders are regulated by professional rules and subject to court scrutiny. A solicitor ensures the correct welfare considerations are addressed, handles the evidence from social workers, and manages the conduct of the case in court and with the child’s birth family. They must maintain client accounts and comply with professional standards throughout the process.

I was really grateful to have Emily on my side during my recent separation. We secured a great deal in resolving the dispute with my ex-partner which related to non-equal shares in our home that was owned in joint names without a shareholder agreement.
