Re: adoption by non custodial parent
I strongly advise that you retain an attorney because all of this must be done in court with a formal hearing removing the parental rights of your daughter's father. This is not something that you can do on your own.
Re: adoption by non custodial parent
Related adoptions are the most common type of adoption. That is a step-parent adopting a step-child. That doesn't mean that the adoption is easy. You need a lawyer to help you through the case. One important reason is that your ex has to give up his parental rights in writing and in court. I can help you through all of this. Please call me at 773-237-3516
