My sister got divorced 5 years ago. The custody of the child is with my sister and no maintainence was paid. The father has also stated that he will never claim custody of the child according to the divorce decree.
I am planning to adopt my sisters kid.The kid s 5 years old male and I am 29 years old and unmarried male. Both father and mother are willing to give adoption of the child.
What is the step by step procedure for this.
1. Do i need to approach court for this?
or
2. Do i get the adoption deed signed from father and mother in a registrar office or get it signed in their or my home. Any rituals need to be conducted for this. Since the father and mother do not have good terms I cannot have them both togather in a place for long duration without trouble.
or
3. After getting signed do i need to register the deed. Can my lawyer get my deed registered in registrar office
What is the step by step procedure for this?
Can anyone plese refer a lawyer in chennai who can handle this?
