What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Louisiana.
So, i'm not sure how to go about this situation. So i'll explain things a bit.
My daughter is special needs/physically disabled. Her biological father has never gone to a doctor's visit for her, kicked me out when he heard she was disabled, refuses to talk to me, hasn't seen her in a year, and is NOT on the birth certificate. He has been talking ill about me since day one, and pulls my parenting into question constantly, when he's not seen our child in a year, and has me blocked from contacting him about her.
Now, my husband wants to adopt my daughter. I heard that my ex would have to sign away his rights, even though he's not on the birth certificate. I don't know how to go about this. I know he will fight this because he's still convinced that I want to be with him even though i'm married happily to someone else.
I need to know if anyone knows if my husband can just adopt my daughter, or if we have to get my ex involved.
