i have full custody of my 15 month old twins girls,their father is supposed to have them 1 month in the summer,and 2 weeks for christmas.i havent heard from him since augsut,when he brought the girls back from their visitation,nor has he paid any child support since then.been trying to reach him all this time,and have been unsucessful.im getting married in 2 days,and would like my soon to be husband to adopt my daughters.how long will there have to be no contact or child support before i can have his rights terminated? i live in ny.hes in minnesota.

You might want to make sure nothing has happened to him before you worry about terminating his rights.

And ask your nearly adult children what they would like.

huh?

what nearly adult children? this is about karen and lisa,my daughters.

Whoops, I apologize, I totally read that as 15 YEARS not Months.

I still stand by making sure nothing horrible has happened to their bio-father, if this isn't normal behavior for him.

I'm not exactly sure how this would work between Minn/NY, but I do know that in NY, at least, it's a long process to terminate rights without conact from the parent.
