he must give up his rights or die whichever comes first or is easier for you. you can petition the court but if he wants to fight it you may not be able to get it done. i am a step father, i got my oldest 2 daughters when they were 3 and 5 nothing made me happier or prouder then the day they asked if they could call me daddy(i am now in tears). you are lucky to have someone who loves your children so much. give it a try petition the court it can't hurt and if you don't succeed the love is still the same all that is different is a name. good luck

i'm paying nevertheless,after 2 an prolonged time. The equipment is desperate as much as assemble,yet each time differences go into result.ie., the dad strikes,makes extra or much less money,will become married, that's as much as you to initiate up the variations to the criminal equipment or baby help enforcement. If the dad became working in Alaska,making one hundred,000 each and every year whilst the baby became born,his help could have been intense priced. If the daddy moved to North Dakota and took a job for 12,000 a 300 and sixty 5 days--of direction an adjustment is serious,and he should not be paying 3 hundred a month. No reason to be homeless--there are father`s rights advocates available who can help renogotiate the month-to-month money. If the preliminary back help owed is exorbitantly intense,the help human beings will connect a lien to the daddy. the daddy can constantly negotiate the month-to-month with the help enforcement lawyer who handles those issues in HIS homestate and city. by the way--i do no longer ***** approximately paying--on no account have. i'm happy to help my 20 300 and sixty 5 days previous,yet I want the mummy could tell the equipment that my daughter would not stay along with her,yet is on her very own. returned--you could desire to make the variations your self!!

It is much easier if the biological father gives up rights of course, but if he is not visiting, and is not paying child support you can sometimes convince the court to terminate his parental rights, which would open the way for your new husband to adopt.

Generally no, unless you want to go through the expense & difficulty of trying to prove abandonment in a contested adoption proceeding. If her father is still paying support or writing to or calling her, there's little liklihood of proving abandonment.

I would suggest being married for a while before considering adopting.

Parental rights must be terminated (voluntarily or not) before an adoption can take place.

No, he must have his rights terminated first
