What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
I have been married for 5 years and have 3 amazing children. My 2 oldest children, 14 and 12 year olds, were from my first marriage. In the 6 years that my ex and I have been divorced he hasn't really been completely in their lives. The first 3 years he just disappeared, no child support, no communication, nothing. The following 2 years he did a complete turn around, paid child support, visited the children only once a month but more it was more than the first 3 years. Now this last year he switched again. No child support, no visiting, nothing all over again. My current husband has been the one their for my children these last 6 years and now he wants to adopt them. I guess my question is would we have any luck with a termination of parental rights and a stepparent adoption if we were to go forward ourselves and if not what would be the chances if we were to go through a lawyer? Thank you and God Bless.
