Question for a Friend

[victmich]

What is the name of your state? Tx

I have a friend who is pregnant at this time and is due in a few months. She is married now, but has a child from a previous relationship. I am not sure what type of custody she has with the child's father or if it matters with this question. Her ex is in prison and has been for 3 years....still has at least 5-6 more years to go from what I know. She is wanting to know what would become of this child if something were to happen during childbirth that results in her death. How would that be looked at? Is there a way for her husband now to keep her child? Not sure how that works if NCP is behind bars.....

Thanks

Does the imprisoned father have any contact with the child, including paying support? She can try to terminate his parental rights and have her husband adopt the child. Then, bio-dad will have no rights, but of courts, it would be up to a judge.

My response:

Is there a trailer and a nonfunctioning septic tank somewhere in this story?
