With the length of time that has passed, I would expect the Court would permit the adoption by your current husband and termination of the biological father’s parental rights. You need to hire a good family attorney to handle for you.

What you’ve set out there looks pretty good. You might want to consider asking the judge to make the dvo no unlawful contact rather than to just dismiss it. I think the odds go up if you ask for no unlawful contact.

You haven’t set out any federal crime in your statement. Exactly what are you charged with?

If she died married to him and without a will, he will be entitled to inherit from her estate. Doubtful a challenge to the intestacy laws will help.
Should I hire a lawyer? I assume I’ll likely have slightly leniency no matter what but would it be smart to get a lawyer just in case?

It doesn’t sound like abandonment but it does sound like you need to separate from him. There are a number of services that can help you financially once you are away from him. It’s tough to be faced with this anytime, especially silly if you are ill, but the time to make a new start is now.
