How to adopt your stepchild (part III)

In Part II, I discussed one of the most important steps in a stepparent adoption – Notifying the absent non-custodial parent of the adoption.

Cost of Stepparent Adoption

The number one question I get asked when folks call my law office regarding a step-parent adoption is (drum roll please): How Much Does it Cost to do a Step-parent adoption?

Other times, they have received a quote from well-meaning people in their circle of influence. The price that a lawyer in Nebraska charges to complete a step-parent adoption va
