The child's father is going to have to give up his rights first. You cannot adopt a child, if both parents do not agree.
If, in the eyes of the law, he is the father then yes he does.
yes
Take him to court. But you'd better have compelling reasons to deny your children their father.
Boyfriend or husband (unless he is the biological father) has no legal right to the child at all. The mother can try to go for full custody though.
No!
No. Not if the father's parental rights have been established legally.No. Not if the father's parental rights have been established legally.No. Not if the father's parental rights have been established legally.No. Not if the father's parental rights have been established legally.
No. The biological father can give up his rights and if your husband then want to be more than a step parent, who have no rights to the child, can adopt your child. Or not, that is your choice as the parent.
Probably not. In most places, unless your natural father has lost or given up his rights and the step father actually adopted you, he has no parental rights (he was merely your mother's husband.)
The movie suggested parental guidance. His mom and dad attended the yearly parental meeting. For his children's safety, their father turned on the parental controls.
He's a responsible father
Your husband can only adopt if the girls father willingly gives up his parental rights or the court terminates them. As her dad he will pay child support until the adoption is through. Then your husband have that responsibility and parental rights just like you. So see what your ex wants. The court stops child support etc when the adoption is through.
There is no current law prohibiting you from living with a man who is not the father of your children. If you marry him, he becomes their stepfather.This in no way changes the relationship between the father and the children, he is not their ex-father he is only the ex husband. You may need to remind him of this, if he is worried about his relationship with his children. Unless he is abusive, the children need to see their father and continue the bond with him.
