You'll need to file a petion for adoption...a consent form from the biological parent living with the child and a bunch of documents you should already have...ie...divorce paperwork...birth certificates etc...here in Orange County we had to have a home visit...that sums it up...now if the other parent consents...great...that will save you time...if not...then you can go for abandonment...which is a bit more complicated and takes longer...I Hope this helps! I'm sure if you call the court here...they'll send you the brochure!take care and good luck!!Christine
