What is the name of your state?TX My husband of 8 yrs wants to adopt my two sons 8 & 12. Their father has had no contact or paid child support in 14 months. Over the past 9 years, he has had several instances of the same thing. My husband is the only father my 8 year old has ever known. Can we terminate rights based on abandonment? He agreed to signing away his rights almost two years ago, but then disappeared. I have my support set up through the Office of the Attorney General. A court date is coming up for my filing for contempt for non-payment. I need help!
