Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan
Revocation of parental rights
My ex- husband got arrested and charged with second-degree assault in
kentucky. he got sentenced to five years in prison (in kentucky). we live in
michigan. we have a child together and are both re-married now. since my ex
is a convicted felon can i have his parental rights terminated? my current
husband wants to adopt my child. i have sole custody of the minor child. also,
what about child support payments? i receive it through friend of the court
and my ex's employer said he would hold his job and continue to make the
support payments, of course this is just a verbal agreement, i'm not really
expecting anything. my main question is about the parental rights, thank you
for any info or suggestions you can give me.

Re: Revocation of parental rights
The fact that your husband is in jail will not terminate his parental rights. Forget the adoption if your ex will not consent. William Stern
