    Default Can My Husband Adopt My Children

    My question involves adoption law for the State of: north carolina

    My ex has not seen our kids in 3 years, he's only seen our youngest son once, when he was born. He is ordered to pay child support, but never has, and now child support enforcement can't find him. My husband has been in my childrens' lives for the past 3 and a half years, and is raising them as his own, and is providing for them financially 100%. CAn he adopt them? And if so, how would we go about doing that? Any information will be greatly appreciated!!

    Your ex would need to sign away his parental rights in order for your husband to adopt your children.

    Absent that, you'd need to bring an action for termination of parental rights.

    You'd need to see an attorney to discuss the specifics.
