Inquiring from State of Texas;
My niece got divorced from her "husband" Nov 2007 (and it was BAD)-they also have 2 girls together (5&6) but he got custody due to her age. They tried to work things out off & on but they are poison together. She tells me the other day she is almost 7 weeks pregnant with his baby! urgh. She does not want him to get this baby due to he is not a great father to the other 2 & they went to court so that he could draw it out and hurt all involved. Now he is homeless, jobless and just keeps the girls away from anything decent.
Child Protective Srvcs has been called on him several times but they are not as protective as they say. She does not want to tell him the baby is his.
Could I adopt the baby since I have more to offer? Can he take her to court to get the baby though they are divorced just for spite?
Thank you for any input.
