What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arizona
My husband wants to adopt my daughter from a previous marriage, she is only 2 years of age. He has been caring for her financially, and emotionally. The biggest thing he is worried about is having to pay for a lawyer, which as of right now we cannot afford.
Until a few months ago (off the top of my head I cannot be sure when exactly), my ex-husband was not providing medical insurance of any sort for our daughter. He claims he was unemployed and could not provide any. Also he claims he did have medical for her, and told the court he gave me the information. He did not. He is now currently providing medical insurance, but has not paid child support since March 30th, 2009. So he is no longer supporting our child.
As of now my husband has been supporting my daughter and myself. I became unemployed when we moved as my boss would not transfer me. I am also expecting my second child with my husband.
The courts allowed my husband to provide medical insurance for my daughter when it became available, and once our child is born, we will have both children put on his insurance. He is more than willing to care for my daughter, and would love to have her as his own daughter.
On top of my ex-husband providing very little for our daughter, he has done nothing but spy on me and try to ruin my life. It is causing me a great deal of stress, especially when my daughter comes back from visitation says she hates me and things like, "I kick your butt." I can only imagine what other horrible things my ex-husband is filling my daughter's head with.
Is there any way I can prove the father unfit? He has been mentally and physically abusive to me when we were together, he is an alcoholic refusing to get help, even though it was put into the parenting plan/divorce decree, he does drugs, only one of which I am sure of, plus countless & nameless pills. I do not believe he would give up his rights to this child, but only to get back at me for leaving him. I truely believe he does not honestly care for my daughter, but only wishes to use her as a pawn in revenge, or as property to antagonize me with.
I personally refuse to give up on providing this child with a much better child-hood and upbringing than I had. It is also my wish that my husband adopt my daughter as it would greatly benefit her. She would have a whole family who cares and loves her and will support her throughout life. With her biological father in her life, I can only imagine what will happen to her. With the biological father most likely refusing to let my husband adopt her, or to give up his rights, what are actions my husband and I can take to make this adoption possible?

that anyone would have the gall to even think they can take custody of a two year old born of their spouses prior marriage from the child's other parent... at least not with the facts in this case.
