Your husband can only adopt if the girls father willingly gives up his parental rights or the court terminates them. As her dad he will pay child support until the adoption is through. Then your husband have that responsibility and parental rights just like you. So see what your ex wants. The court stops child support etc when the adoption is through.
Paying child support will not cause the father to lose his parental rights - neither will not paying child support.
Since losing them can include not paying support, it can only be done if an adoption is the intent.
The right to petition the courts for the right to see and support his child.
Yes, a father can give up his parental rights but he still have to pay child support.
no
Termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.
All you need to do is contact the Family court in your state and obtain the necessary paper work. Keep in mind, signing your rights does not releave you from financial responsibility/child support.
No, you can't. First, you can't sue a parent for child support. Second, there is nobody to collect it from since your father has passed. However, if your father has an estate you could contact the attorney handling the estate or a private attorney to determine if you have any rights in his estate as an heir at law.
