Petition For Adoption Of Adult {19.0}

FORM 19.0 – PETITION FOR ADOPTION OF ADULT. This form from the Cuyahoga County Probate Court is used when an individual or couple wishes to legally adopt another person who is 18 years of age or older. Under Ohio Revised Code § 3107.02, this petition allows the court to consider and approve the adult adoption, provided that specific qualifying circumstances exist. These may include situations where the adult to be adopted is permanently disabled, has a developmental disability, or previously had a significant caregiver relationship with the petitioner—such as a foster, kinship, or stepparent-child relationship during their minority. The form also accommodates adult adoptees who were in the custody of a child services agency at the time of their 18th birthday, or who are the biological child of the petitioner’s spouse. Additionally, the form addresses whether child support obligations for the adult adoptee exist and are being handled by a county child support agency. www.FormsWorkflow.com
