Re: ~Moving Forward~
If the father will not consent to your new husband adopting the child, then it is unlikely that you will be able to terminate his rights to force the adoption, based upon the limited facts you provided. However, there may be other factors in your case that could change the outcome.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case. If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
