My question involves adoption law for the State of: Illinois
I had a son from a previous relationship, where he was abusive and i got an order of protection for me and my son the courts are trying to get the father involved in my son's life as long as he had a steady home, job and a car to get back and forth. It has been a little over 6 months since then they gave him 6 months to get everything together ( he only has been through 6 jobs since then and lived in 2 diffrent places and got 2 cars repoed) and go back to court after we did a mediation, he never got a hold of our mediatior to set up a time before court started, he didn't even show up at court, the courts gave him another week, he didn't do anything this time either, and court is coming up to extented the order or protection again. He had 2 diffrent times to do the mediation and he never even called his lawyer. His lawyer told the courts that he hasn't even heard from him in 3 weeks. (that was almost 6 weeks ago) This man has never done anything for his son. I have gotten married and my husband wants to adopt my son, but we have moved to a diffrent state for my husband's job and plan to move back to Illinios in 6 months, how can we go about this when the courts keep giving him too many chances?
