Paralegals can fill in forms. They can't give advice. Prices vary.Can paralegals do step parent adoptions?
You cannot hire a paralegal to perform the duties of an attorney. Sorry, it doesn't work that way.
Yes, paralegals can fill out forms but the adoption process is not just a bunch of forms. Trust me, I have done family law and adoptions for years. There needs to be a social study conducted, fingerprinting, the adopting parents need to be certified as acceptable to adopt, and there is (at least one) required court hearing plus more red tape.
Bottom line, you need to get an attorney.
Unethical practices of Paralegals include
Setting legal fees
Giving Advice
Acting as an attorney in court
So, yes, a Paralegal can fill out forms. Like others have posted, you don't need a paralegal for that.
Anyone can prepare the documents if they know how. They're not that complicated, and there's no requirement that they be prepared by a lawyer.
