Stepparent adoption in Indiana
I would like for my husband to adopt my daughter. Her father has not seen her for about a year and a half and has not paid child support for close to 4 years. He knew how to contact her up until about 3 months ago when I changed our # and we moved out of state about 3 weeks ago. I am afraid for him to come around. I ended what little contact he chose to have with our daughter when I found out he had been for witness intimedation in a case against him involving a shooting. The person shot would not press charges because he's some kind of gang leader and doesn't want to look like a punk and said he would take care of it his own way. All this was just the straw that broke the camels back for me and I am now avoiding him. I don't really know what legal rights he has and would like some info besides the obvious "talk to a lawyer" since I don't have $2,500 to do that right now. If anyone has any knowledge of Ohio or Indiana family law or knows of any low fee attorneys I would really appreciate it.
