Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Parental Rights- Adoption

i'm trying to have my dad adopt my son so i can join the air force. the father of my son isn't on the birth certificate and he is currently serving a 60 yr sentence in prison for child murder from another relationship. Does he have to sign over his rights even though he never admitted or took responsbilities for my son? Or could i go through with the adoption without his consent?

That would be a question to ask the attorney helping you with the adoption.

You need to talk to a good family law attorney. This is not an email kind of question. Never heard of having to adopt your child out before you can go into the air force. Are you sure that's necessary?
