What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
I have 5 sons from a previous relationship. They all have the same father. He has not been in my kids life for the past 6 and a half years. He was ordered to pay child support and has paid a total of not even $300.00 in 6 years.I have gotten 2 restraining orders and it is stated in the restraining order that he can't see the kids. My husband wants to adopt my younger 2 and my parents want to adopt the older 3 that have lived with them because it was very hard on me to be a single parent of 5. I think that he will sign knowing that he will no longer have to pay child support. Is there a cheaper way of doing this other than paying a lawyer?
