I have a very complicatedd situation that I need help with. Two years ago I was involved with a man that later became my boyfriend all in one month and two months later I became pregnant. He was excited about the pregnancy and so was I this was my first child. He was involved Doctor's visit's etc.. Until I found out he was cheating on me with his ex that he already had a son with. When I found out he was cheating on me with her she was also pregnant by him. So we were both pregnant by him at the same time. He remained involved with going to Doctor's visit's with me until I was three months at this time I had already broke up with him. When I was 5 months pregnant I ran into a old high school friend and him and I knew each other for 8 years a month later he proposed. Two months later we got married. My ex and My Husband are so different like night and day. My dilema is out of anger I put my ex on child support and because at the time I needed help but after I got married my husband was DEPLOYED to Iraq. Finacially we are set. My husband was with me from the time I was 5 months pregnant until now and he loves my child like she is his and we were married before she was born. Problem is my husband and I wants my ex to sign over his rights because he is not a stable parent and he has 7 other children that he doesn't spend a lot of time with or finacially take care of he sells drugs and he only tries to keep in touch to be intouch with me. He said he refuses to sign his rights over. They can never make him pay childsupport here in the state of Texas because her never keeps a job. (Felon) How can I get him to sign his rights over? Oh yeah he won't sign the child Support papers because I gave my daughter my husband's last name. PLEASE HELP! (I try to not have any communication with him at all.

Sweetheart I have no answers for you and I am sorry for that, but know you aren't the only one going through the same situation! I can not tell you how close our stories are, the 3 differences are my ex only has 1 child elsewhere but I was pregnant the same time she was.. My daughter was 1 when I met my hubby and he had just got back from overseas right before we met him. I did not take the ex for child support because I hoped it would keep him away, and he tries to stay in touch thinking that Im going to leave my husband for him one day. I try my hardest to stay away from him and hate that I had my baby girl with him and couldn't somehow have magically known what was going to happen later on. If you happen to find out anything please send info our way. {e-mail removed-<>}

If you can prove his drug sales, prove his long criminal history ( show where he was in jail and prison)
Show with evidence that he is mentally unstable. Then there is a outside chance, if he will not visit or pay child support the court may take his rights.
** and they often take his rights if you file for it, and he refuses to show up, ( common)

{MOD Note, moved to Family Law-<>}

Were you married when the child was born? Did your husband sign the birth certificate? If you put your husband's name on the because and then went after the bio father for support, you may have broken the law.

But you probably cannot force a termination of rights. However, if you can prove the father is a danger to the child and your husband is prepared to adopt, you may get one granted.

I strongly urge seeing an attorney who can advise you of your chances and tell you how to go about it.
