Is your fiancé a part of the child's life? Does he visit or otherwise contact the child? Does he pay support?
A simple letter stating:
To Whom It may concern.
I response to <insert docket #> I hereby inform the court that I do not consent to the adoption of <insert child's name>. I am a part of my child's life and intend to continue to be. I see my child <insert visit info> and talk to her regularly.
Therefore, I do not intend to relinquish my parental rights.
Family courts are more informal and this should be sufficient. Make sure he stays on top of the court proceedings and attends any hearings.
P.S. Please be more careful where you post I moved this from the Bankruptcy & Debt forum.
