When the birth parent has terminated parental rights over your step-child and you have adopted the child as your own, your custody and visitation rights are identical to those of a natural parent of a child.
Depending on the custody agreement and the earnings scenario between you and your spouse, you may also have a child support obligation to fulfill.
In other words, your rights and responsibilities are the same as any other parent in Queens.
When parents divorce, protecting their kids and ensuring an ongoing role in their lives is of paramount importance.
The attorneys at Zelenitz, Shapiro & D’Agostino understand how sensitive these issues can be to both parents, and will help to foster a productive negotiation where appropriate, and fight for our clients’ rights in court when that is the only way to proceed.
