Today was the final hearing for the contested step parent adoption, and I won the case ~ just an update. for anyone who thinks it’s impossible, I achieved it in an hour ❤️ so don’t give up if you’re trying to stop your step babies.
I don’t think i’ve posted it. It was at our home. But she was somehow able to steal things even with us being in the room, so we have it at a public library. For a while we were driving 45 minutes to the library for her convenience every saturday just for her to not show up or give a notice.
So...
That’s what my attorney is for. Like I said i’ll just post an update once it’s over.
But she mentioned how it’s usually unlikely if they dont go a year without seeing them. She was just saying because of her behavior at the visits, it’s a little different.
Mostly because the people’s attitude here are more of thinking they know the outcome of things rather than just an opinion of what’s more likely. Asking for legal advice from random strangers right before a hearing probably isn’t wise, but it’s easy to second guess the situation and worry

The arkansas law state’s that after one full year of not paying child support or not seeing the child, you can attempt to terminate rights. It’s been done. I just can’t find a situation with similar enough details.
Thats what the attorney wanted to try first, by asking her. And she still hasn’t given an answer. And will probably agree to it in the hearing, she’s just refusing so sign the papers she has now.
