Since you are Hindu and the boy has been brought up as being Hindu what guidance you received from a local Adv. is correct advise as per HAMA Laws. There are certain Fees that is to be paid there which is more or less ranging from 200 – 300 (dependant upon State) that is all and you have already done the half part by changing father's name!.

It is permitted in law for a step father to adopt a child. But first you should perform a adoption cermony according to the hindu rites and customs in a temple or in marriage halls. Then you should register the child adoption in the sub-registrar ofice. If you want a model copy of the deed of adoption, then call me at 9962999008 or email to mail advocatechennai@yahoo.com.

Sir...

me and my husband have filed in for mutual divorce in Haryana and will be obtaining the decree in a month's time now. We have a 3 year old daughter but as per the MoU, my husband has written that he does not have any right and does not claim to be a natural father of hers ever in the future ...

 

I need to get married again and i need to have the step father;s name in my child's passport so she enjoys the fundamental rights. Let me know the process , adoption deed format etc and what documentation i need from my ex husband.....We are based in Haryana.. A prompt reply would be a great help.

Regards
