What if a non-custodial parent will not consent to a stepchild adoption?

0

In some states, if the non-custodial parent objects to the adoption, it cannot move forward. In other states, there are provisions for the adoption to move forward even if the non-custodial parent objects, particularly if that parent has maintained very little contact or communication with their child. The adoption laws vary from state to state, so it is really important to check with your particular state what the the laws that govern the process dictate.
