Hi Law Practitioners
Wish you a very Happy New Year !!!!
I married to a women who has got 2 children from her last marriage. In her divorce decree Honerable Judge has clarified that father has give up all rights of costody of their children. After our marriage children have come to me in a natural way. I have taken layers advice and as he suggested at that point of time in 2009 we have done Dattak Vidhan Dastavej as per Hindu Law and done Registry with witnesses in registrar office in ahmedabad. Then we have applied for Gazatt and changed the children's name officially in school. now when we are applaying for a children passport, the passport office says its not an official adoption, you have to have an official order from family court. Further more lawyers are saying after the age of 16 it will be dificult to have an official adoption. I really dont understand what is this !!! My son is about to finish 16 years on 23rd December'2015.
I would like to share that natural father of children has demiced before 2 years.
Is it a very complex, matter?
