Why haven't you gone to court for a support order? He can't just not pay if there is an order the court will hold him responsible if you stay on top of it. After you are married for a year then hire an adoption attorney in your area (they are required for all adoptions) he/she will tell you other ways to possibly have the rights of the bio father terminated but at this point since he spent no time in jail or anything you are going to have an up hill battle to force the adoption to go through. The bio parents are more likely to sign to allow the adoption if the court is after them for support so you might want to start there.

You shouldn't have said anything to the bio father until you were ready to file for adoption.

I agree with stinawords, file for child support. Even if he doges paying for a while. You will have some leverage to get him to sign away his rights.

The reason why I have not done it yet cause My daughter fiancé and I are happy... She don't need him.. My fiancé has raised her for a long time now.. I don't want him to try to get in her life now...

I have not yet told the bio father about the adoption...

First, please try to use proper punctuation and sentence structure. Som of what you are saying is confusing.

If you haven't said anything to the bio father about adoption, then sit tight. Get married to your fiancée, what whatever period is applicable to your state then file for adoption. If the bio father refuses to relinquish, then file for child support against him.

OK this is the thing, you have to notify the bio father about the adoption and ask him to sign his rights away, and if he will not, talk him to court to try and take those rights.

Often a man who wants nothing to do with the child will sign them away instead of paying child support,

But the bio father can file in court for visits anytime he wants to, so by not doing anything, nothing will get done.
