I was young when I met Mr. Wrong and had two beautiful children. Now, not together and I met my Mr RIGHT,happily married. Bio-logic father does not want to pay child support or wants any/some involvement with our children and is fighting this. How can I get this solved? Mr. RIGHT wants to adopt my children because we're a happy family!

If the father wants to be involved with his children, and is trying to maintain a relationship, it is highly unlikely that your husband will be able to adopt. A court will not involuntarily terminate the rights of a father who want to be in their children's lives unless he is such a danger to them that he can never be allowed near them. Is there a child support order in place?

Need more info - is the father willing to surrender his rights so your husband can adopt? If he is not it's almost impossible.

This doesn't make sense. If he doesn't want to pay support or an involvement with the children then he should be willing to agree to your husband adopting.That will sever his relationship with the children and end his support obligation.

If your new husband wants to adopt, the bio father may sign over his rights and agree to allow the adoption.
You hire an attorney, he does the adoption paper work which will include the forms for the bio father to sign.

So the father wants to be able to SEE his kids if he's paying child support?

That's NOT unreasonable, you know. Mr. Wrong for YOU doesn't mean he's wrong for his children. And if he was so very wrong, why the heck did you have TWO children with him? He can't be ALL bad if you stayed at least 18 months with him.

So you get custody and visitation and child support all in place by the courts--because unless you can PROVE that he is a DANGER to his children, you're not going to get his rights revoked for an adoption without his permission.
