Q: So what forms do I need to terminate my ex's parental rights over our two children? My ex is for this!
My ex is in prison he has been there for a few years and will remain there for many more years the children will be in their late teens/adults when he gets out. He was never really involved in their life beforehand and is all for terminating his rights and allowing my husband to adopt children! My husband has been in their lives for years and was there at the birth of my and my ex's youngest. He is the best stepdad ever and the children know him as dad and my ex's family also call him their dad since he has done everything for them since entering our lives. So now we are all in agreement to let him adopted children! We just aren't sure what forms we need too do this. Also not sure if it helps or not but there is no dad listed on their birth certificates I didn't put anyone down as being the father, just my information. Thanks in advance and I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! :)
A:
You should consult with an attorney to determine if a Step-Parent Adoption can be done in your case. If you and the biological Father are in agreement with your husband adopting the children, there should not be any major issues with the adoption process.
