Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina

removing parental rights and adoption

My ex-husband has not seen my daughter in 3 yrs. He wants to give up his rights and not pay child support. My new husband wants to adopt my daughter (she wants this also). What do I need to do to get this started and could this be done on my own or do I need an attorney? What would this cost if attorney were needed?
