What is the financial affidavit required for stepparent adoption?

The financial affidavit is a simple court form showing your family's finances. It's required in many states to demonstrate you can support the child.

What it includes:

• Your income (employment, self-employment, other sources)
• Your spouse's income
• Monthly expenses (housing, utilities, food, etc.)
• Assets (savings, property, vehicles)
• Debts (mortgage, car loans, credit cards)

Don't worry about the numbers:

• There is NO minimum income requirement for stepparent adoption
• The court isn't looking for wealth — they want to see the child will be provided for
• If you're already supporting the child (which you are, as a stepparent), that's evidence you can continue

We prepare this form for you as part of the $349 document package. You just provide the numbers on the questionnaire, and we format everything correctly for your state's requirements.

Common concern: "What if our income is low?" This does NOT prevent adoption. Courts understand that love and stability matter more than a high salary.
