My girlfriend had a child with a man that had a questionable background. He has only seen her daughter once when she was 6 weeks old. He has never inquired about her or taken any steps to be in her life. She is now 3 years old. He has threatened to try and take her daughter away if she ever tries to collect child support from him. We live in California. We may be getting married in the not-so-distant future and she has been very worried about him being able to take her daughter away. We would like to find out what the guidelines for abandonment procedures would consist of? We are probably looking for a Step-parent adoption, but need to minimize the chance of the sperm donor from causing trouble. By the way, he does not appear on the daughters birth certificate, but he does appear on some medi-cal papers. What problems may this have on the situation? We have been trying to get this mess over with and any help will be greatly appriciated.
