yes
12 months with no contact whatsoever (including child support payments)
If no orders are established and you were not married to him, you already have sole custody.
it takes about 9 months for a full child's birth.
It's possible that if you file for child support he will file for visitation - assuming he isn't neglectful or abusive, visitation is his right as one of the parents of the child.
The child should probably exist. That is, older than -9 months. I don't think there's a minimum age. If the parent believes it is in the child's best interest to be in the parent's custody, they should file for custody. Period.
9 Months
To terminate parental rights, a person, agency or institution must file a request in the chancery court of the county where the child lives. The mother, legal father and biological father become parties in the action, and the court appoints a guardian to oversee the child's interests temporarily. Several different grounds exist for such action, including repeated abusive acts by the parent or a parent's abandonment of a child under the age of three for six months or over age three for one year. This varies by state.
Try to concieve 9 months prior
Yes and you should my husband left me with my three kids when they were young in new york and i terminated them then and there.
A child begins to grow inside of her. If everything works correctly than the child is born several months later (approximately 9 months after conceiving.)
Florida has jurisdiction.
Unless the kid is, like, 10 months old, the biodad has abandoned the child. If his parental rights haven't already been severed, they should be, and that should open the door to your adopting the kid. Good luck. * The biological mother will have to file a petition in the state court in the city or county where she resides to have the father's parental rights terminated before the child is eligible for adoption. In such cases the court is generally agreeable, but such cases are judged on their individual merit. In most situations the petitioner will need to show the court that reasonable attempts to locate the biological parent have been made to obtain his or her consent for the adoption. Abandonment laws in most states do not address the issue of the adoption of a child based only on the issue of one or both parents not being present.
