Adoption process

[cn.warren]

In Missouri, is a lawyer necessary to give up custody to a step-parent if all parites involved agree to it?

You figured out a way to get out of that CS, huh?

Adoption is forever, custody is not. Is this an adoption question or is it a custody question?

Think what you want, the support isn't an issue, not ever seeing the children is.

It would be easier for the children is the bottom line

Oh, so you're giving up. Ok.

Is an attorney required? No. But is IS highly recommended. Adoption is not a DIY project.

The father wants to let the step father adopt the children

Any idea about how much something like this should cost? I want the father to pay for it if thats what he wants to do.

Who are you in this situation?

In your other thread, you are the NCP to 2 children. I ASSumed these were the same two children you were referring to.

ETA: As to cost...$1 to $100,000.00. Call around for a more precise figure

1-100,000.00....seriously. Did you come up with that number yourself, or did it take some time to come up with such a precisely calculated figure? I was looking for a ball park. This shouldn't be anything complicated in the least.

Ok, realistically...$100 - $50,000

Better?
