Need Advise - Husband not legal father

What is the name of your state? TX

I had an extramarrital affair and my husband was aware that the child born was not biologically his. He signed the birth certificate and the child has his last name.

The biological father is also married and KNEW it was his child but does not want to be involved. What can be done so that my husband can adopt her legally? Or by signing the birth certificate - does that have any legal standing.

The bilogical father had a DNA test to PROVE to his wife that it IS his child - but she doesnt want him involded and we just need advice as to what can or should be done?

Thanks!

Check the laws in TX it could be one of those states that if a child is born within the marriage your husband is the legal father. Is there anything on record saying he isn't?

No there is NOTHING saying he ISNT the father. He is on the borth certificate and has been sole provider since day one. biological father has not given a dime or spent time with at all.

I will look up the info.

Thanks!

My response:

No, it's not there. Oh, there it is! It's in your leopard skin print purse - - you know, that's the kind of purse that Skanks use.

Wow, you're off the scale!

There are only two problems I see that COULD occur by NOT doing an adoption. One is if bio father all of a sudden decides he wants rights or you and your husband divorce.

My response:

You're lucky to have a Dufus for a husband. I would have tossed your skanky butt onto the sidewalk if it were me. But then, that would be very, very unlikely because I would never live in a trailer.

That is our concern - we dont want to have a 5year down the road - hey I want to be in her life. He had and ha had a choice and it ws to NOT be involved.

Thank you for your advise and

I get to pass judgment on skanks, and idiot husbands who continue to live with skanks - - much like your situation!

The recourse to that is if your state reconizes your husband as the legal father as the child was born of the marriage. Also if you have proof that he knew of the child and chose not t have anything to do with it.
