Q: What is the best way for intrafamily adoption and termination of fathers right?
My ex-husband and sons father has filed a judgment for contempt on me for not allowing him visitation with his son. He has not spoke or saw his son since Sept 2018. I kept him from him after the fathers girlfriend/ heroin dealer sold pills while with som and later was arrested in husbands car with heroin and needles. My ex-husband has been arrested for assault for trying to attack myself and husband twice. I refused him visitaion for three months after this occurred and after that he has not tried to contact him or see him in 2 years. My son is 5 and does not ask about him or remember him.. If anyone asks him about his father he states my husband is his dad.I was in process of hiring an attorney for termination of rights and feel like my ex husband is requesting visitation now bc of this. My present is attorney is saying I don't have that high of chance for getting his rights revoked and judge might give him supervised visitation. What is the best strategy to revoke his rights?
A: If he is requesting visitation at this time, then you are not going to be able to terminate his rights and your husband adopt.
