    How can my husband adopt my daughter in a different state then the father?
    My daughter father was sentenced 19 years in jail. My daughter is now 4 and he has been in there since she was 2. There was a DNA test done, and now he owes back child support from dshs. I also want to change her last name to mines and my husbands. Do I still need him to sign his rights over if he won't even be out until she is 18? And how can I go about this if we are in v.a and he in prison in w.a?

    It is easier and cheaper if he will sign. Your attorney has him served the papers in prison, if he will sign, he does so in prison and it is mailed back to you, the lawyer and is filed in court
