Another alternative, if stepdad is against adoption, would be to file a consent petit
Can anyone give me more information on this.

I'm not trying to be judgemental- but WHY, if step-dad is unwilling to adopt~ would you want him to be responsible to raise the children in your absence?? If he's worried about child support if you ever divorced- how would he handle completely supporting the children (if you were dead and bio Dad had no parental rights)?bobbiebeamer said:Can anyone give me more information on this.
Feelings, emotions, and promises change when divorcing.bobbiebeamer said:He isn't against adoption and he knows I would never take him for support. He makes plenty of money and he would still recieve my kids social security benefits. I was just curious what this alternative it. Not that he is against it.
That's right, you stated that.bobbiebeamer said:Bio dad is already dead. That is why I am trying to make sure my kids stay with stepdad.
Yes, if he adopts and you divorce he is financially responsible for them. And there is no way to legally remove his financial resonsibilty if he adopts. I realize that you say you "don't want anything from him financially", but no lgeal agreement exists that can remove such a responsibilty.bobbiebeamer said:I don't want anything from him finacially if we get divorced but I know that is one of his fears. He has done this before and as soon as the adoption was legal after years she kicked him out and filed for divorce. So he know must pay for her.
Please advise
And that is what I said....BelizeBreeze said:Wrong. If step-dad does adopt then he has all legal rights and responsibilities as if he were the biological father. And although the grandparents may have the right to "FILE" for visitation, it is not a right vested.
notice the word in bold?424Smudge said:If they fight it if you die then yes they might have a chance of winning reguardless if their step-dad has adopted them. .
Listen, there has been enough crap posted on this issue. And you seem not to WANT to understand. So, if after this post you still argue, then go pay an attorney in your area about $500 to tell you the same things.bobbiebeamer said:I don't understand. Wouldn't they have to prove him unfit or something.
I guess I need to call an attorney and find out how to go about this.
This can't be the costly I wouldn't think. We should just have to sign some papers right?
No, they would not have to prove him unfit. The long and the short of it is that he has no legal rights to the kids until and unless he adopts them. Period. End of story.bobbiebeamer said:I don't understand. Wouldn't they have to prove him unfit or something.
