Attorney Representation if You Need It
When a stepparent adopts a spouse's child, the biological parent is no longer a part of the child's life. As long as the biological parent is willing to sign a document terminating parental rights, you can file all of the necessary paperwork yourself. However, if the biological parent is missing or reluctant, you may need an attorney's help.
Help-U-File offers seamless attorney representation if you need assistance in terminating a biological parent's rights.
For more information: Call Help-U-File at 916-454-4900 or simply drop in at our office. We are conveniently located across the street from the Ridgeway Law Center in Sacramento. We are open the same hours as the courthouse and offer free parking.
