My question involves adoption law for the State of: Tennessee
My daughter age 5, has not been supported by her biological father. My husband (married Dec 2010) has been her father. I have court orders for the biological father to pay and a visitation schedule. The last payment I received was February 2010. In the amount of 27 dollars. The last time he has seen her was December 25th 2007. I also took him back to court may 2009 for non payment, and the fact that he hasn't seen her, nor has insurance on her or the life insurance policy he is required per divorce papers. Hei paid the lawyer out of pocket and court time came and he was a no show. And nothing happened. I am now wanting to pursue for abandonment. And to terminate his rights and my.husband adopt her asap. Anyone been through Thia? Any advice? I am still pushing the cs order and he currently has a court sate for non payment through the state Feb 14tg. Any help of advice would be great!! Thanks a billion.
