to jewels when he found out that i was pregnant he told me he hoped i lost her & his mother even says the only reason he got visitation was so she could see my daughter not so he could see her & he didn't take me to court for visits at first i agreed to him getting her every sat. 12-6 but he hasn't been following through he hasn't seen her since july. i gave him a chance to be part of her life & he no longer wants anything to do with her but he doesn't want my husband to have anything to do with her either. the child is 1 & he has never paid child support, never bought her anything, she takes seizures bad & he doesn't even call to check on her to me thats not a father

Unfortunately, in most states if the ex doesnt agree to the adoption......then it wont happen.
If I were you I would DEFINITELY contact a lawyer. They should
be able to tell you how to handle this.

The best advice you can get is from an attorney. If you can't afford one legal aid may help. You can also look on the web for similar cases and see the results and why. I do know this. If he wants to be a father, you should let him. I know it's difficult sometimes but WE have to forget about ourselves and think of the children. If children could have it there way they would have both parents in there lives and both would be perfect. I had to do a little convincing but both of my children's father's would die for there babies now, one of which I could care less if I never spoke to for the rest of my life-BUT-I love my child and she loves her dad and he loves her. Nothing could be better under the current circumstances.

Get tough with your attorneys and make them give you the answers you need, if they can't or won't find some new lawyers that will answer your questions more satisfactorily. You deserve to know your rights, options and reasonable answers to your questions.

you can take him to court for not abiding by the judges/ rulling and he can loose his visitation rights. It can get hairy for you. The only thin i can tell you is get a lawyer. If youcan't afford one (they're expensive) talk to the DA

It's time you have a lawyer. Step parent adoptions are tricky because they involve constitutional issues.
