Frequently Asked Questions about Stepparent Adoption

It can take anywhere from a couple of months to over a year for a stepparent adoption to be finalized depending on the circumstances of your specific situation.

To start your stepparent adoption in Nebraska, you will need:

  • Marriage: The stepparent must be married to his/her stepchild’s biological parent.
  • Residence: The stepchild must have been living with the stepparent for at least 6 months before the stepparent adoption can start.
  • Consents: If you want to adopt your stepchild, both your spouse and the other biological parent have to agree to it. The law does grants some exceptions to getting the consent of the absent biological parent.

On average, a stepparent adoption in Nebraska can cost anywhere from $3,000 to over $5,000 depending on the complexity of your specific situation. Schedule a free consultation with our law office to find out how much yours will cost. 

Yes! In Nebraska, the law allows for the adoption of your adult stepchild. So if you never got around to adopting your stepchild for one reason or another, it is not too late to start the process. Call us to get started today.

There are a lot of situations in which the non-custodial biological parent may not agree to a stepparent adoption. The law provides a mechanism to proceed with stepparent adoptions without the non-custodial absent biological parent but they are very complex.  Schedule a free consult with our law office to find out what to expect for your specific situation.

My wife and I hired Bundy Law for the adoption of our son. We chose Bundy Law because of their reputation and specialization in handling adoption cases. Working with Lucrece Bundy was an exceptional experience. From our initial consultation to the finalization of the adoption, Lucrece displayed a high level of knowledge, compassion, and dedication. She guided us through every step of the adoption process, ensuring that all the necessary legal procedures were followed meticulously. She took the time to understand our unique circumstances, listened to our concerns, and provided clear explanations of the legal requirements and implications involved in the adoption. What set Lucrece Bundy apart was her genuine care for our family. She approached the adoption process with sensitivity and understanding, making sure that our family's best interests were at the forefront of every decision. Lucrece's compassion and warmth made the entire experience less stressful, and we felt supported and reassured during what could have been an overwhelming process. I highly recommend Lucrece Bundy for her expertise, compassion, and unwavering commitment. She is the perfect choice for this life-changing journey.

Lucrece was amazing when helping us complete our ICPC adoption. She is very knowledgeable and trustworthy. She also helped us navigate through a tedious situation with an out of state lawyer who gave us extremely poor legal advice. My husband and I would definitely recommend Lucrece to anyone needing this type of legal counsel.

After doing an extensive search for an attorney to complete our step-parent adoption, we decided Lucrece Bundy was the best fit for us. Her professionalism, knowledge and experience in family law won us over. Throughout our entire adoption process, we were never hit with any surprises. Everything happened as she explained it would in our initial consultation. An additional attorney assigned to our case spoke highly of her as well and acknowledged how well versed she was with the process. We would highly recommend Lucrece for anyone seeking adoption representation.

Awesome experience. From the very beginning Lucrece explained the whole process in a way that it was easy to understand and follow. Due to covid and the nature of the process it did take a little bit of time. Overall I am very satisfied with her service and I highly recommend Bundy Law LLC to anyone who is looking to adopt.
