Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

My husband wants to adopt my 6 year old son. My son's biological father owes 14k in CS, hasnt made a payment since 2008 (when he did it was only here and there) and hasnt seen/made contact with my son since 2006. Heres the catch: Can my husband adopt my son even though he is on parole? it is NOT a child abuse related case... Things he did when he was a juvenile.

The fact that your husband is on parole doesn't automatically disqualify him from adoption. Yes, he can adopt your son.

The final decision, of course, is up to the Judge, who makes his decision based on "the best interest of the child."
