my husband wants to adopt my 10 year old daughter. he has been a father to her since birth. the biological father and I were never married,we only dated for a couple of months until i told him i was pregnant. he then constantly harrassed me to have an abortion,I said go to hell! ever since he's been hounding me any way he can get out of paying child support. he's already signed papers to give up his rights. hes never wanted anything to do with his daughter but he keeps threatening to sue for visitation rights if I dont hurry up and file the step-parent adopt papers. he rarely ever made any CS payments and I found out later from his other daughter that he may have phisically and sexually abused her.which he denies,but i dont want him any where near my daughter,which is what his other daughters advice was but i dont have enough money for the filing fee for the adopt papers which is $300. is there a time limit for filing the papers from the date of completion and notarization? please help, need info, sorry so long! Thankyou in advance,any advice welcome.
