What is the name of your state? NY/SK
I am engaged to a wonderful guy. He loves my daughter and he is very good to her (she's 3 mos. old). My daughters father has NEVER sent child support. doesn't write or even call. Last time I called him he just screamed at me....but mentioned that if he EVER found out the child was his he would try to take her from me. He is an alcoholic . My parents have been helping me care for my daughter. They like my fiance' very much. But My daughter also has her fathers last name. I don't know what I am going to do. Everytime I try to make contact with her father he turns hostile on me. I never asked for child support. Just that emotionally should his daughter in the future want to talk to her daddy that he open up to her and be there as an emotional support. What kind of paperwork would I need to expect when my fiance adopts her? Would her father need to give up his paternal rights? I mean he does NOTHING what so ever. I take my child to the hospital and feed,clothe, and bathe her. He has never even seen his child once. Will this adoption process be difficult? Because my daughter's father does nothing for her doesn't that automatically mean that I already have sole custody of her? Would I need some kind of document proving that? please help me.... I get married this november and we will be in NY when my fiance adopts her.
