Get married and stay married for a couple of years. Then, contact an attorney who specializes in step-parent adoptions. Allow the attorney to handle all the paperwork and questions you may have at that time.

Until then, you can do squat. :cool:

Actually you can take that back. Allow your fiancé to adopt your child as a single parent. Then you can also have your rights terminated. When that happens neither you or your ex will be the child's parent but hey you can please your ex like you are so wanting to do. GO FOR IT! Terminate your rights and his and let your fiancé adopt ...

Well, it cannot be done. Its not possible. You have to be married and stay married for at least a year or two before your fiancé would be permitted to adopt your child. Therefore you are going to have to tell him that.

I take that this Father of the Year candidate is badgering you because he wants to be off the hook for supporting the child he helped create.

He probably wants all arrears forgiven as well.

Would this be anywhere near close to the correct assumption? Since other than $, it's pretty easy to ignore the kid.

Psst: it's the Dad pressuring Mom to get someone else to adopt the kid.

Seriously? Ignore him.

Or, better yet, send him here to ask how he can rush his own TPR because darn it yesterday is too late ...

... we'll be very glad to straight... I mean "help" him.

Nailed it right on the head.

Uh; I don't believe OhioGAL has that particular body part. In addition, since she is an attorney, she gave you legally correct information.
