Q: i been filing petition for violation of cs this year and it been a lost. my husband want to adopt her as well, do we we need the bio-father sign a consent form or can we try with the court knowing that he been more tun 3 years absent volunteer with no payment of cs
A: David's Answer: If the father has not visited the child in 3 years, most likely the adoption court will find that he legally abandoned the child & will allow the adoption to proceed with or without his consent. Schedule a consultation with a NYC/Westchester Family Law attorney for a full assessment. -- David Bliven, Westchester Family Law attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
