What is the name of your state? that's a little confusing- We are military, We are curently in GA, we are moving to CO in 2 months, but we are still Florida residents.
My son is 7, I've been married to my husband for 5 years. My husband wants to adopt my son. The bio has not had contact with him in about 6 years. The last time I heard anything from him was 3 years ago, and that was for him to tell me that he would be trying to fight for custody, but nothing came of it.
If there a time frame that must past that I would not have to receive his consent for the step parent adoption to go through?
If he is contacted by the courts about it and he contests the adoption, what are the chances of the court will award him visitation or something of that nature?
We have been lucky till this point not to have to deal with any of that, but I don't want to start an adoption that would keep the bio out of my sons life, only to end up with the court telling me that I have to let him.
and, If I'm in CO and the bio is in FL, how would visitation work anyway?
Thanks
