    Do you have to contact your ex if your current spouse wants to adopt your child?
    My name is Emily, I have a 7 yr old daughter and her father has had no contact of any kind for almost 6 years. I married over a year ago and my husband and I have talked about the possibility of him adopting her. She has asked him before why he doesn't. However, I am unsure of the process of contacting her biological father, we would preffer not to cantact him at all, but I believe there is a window that you have to allow for the other party to respond, do you know what that process is in the stat of TN.

    Whether he is exercising his parental rights, the biological father still has them.

    You need to get a family law attorney to walk you through the process of attempting to contact the biological father. If it is NOT done correctly, the adoption can be overturned at a later date.
