QUESTION
Do I have enough of a case to file for a step parent adoption if biological father hasn’t seen my child for 6 years?
Asked on Dec 01st, 2016 on Child Custody - Florida
More details to this question:
My daughter will be 7. She has not had contacted with bio dad in 6.5 years. He is on birth certificate. He has never paid any type of monetary support. He has been in prison, on and off for years, 5 total. He's out now and refused consent for adoption (sent through an attorney). He's had no direct contact with me in 4 years. The last I offered to let him see her, he didn't show. My husband of 5 years wants to adopt her and is the only dad she knows.

If he is in prison and does not parent the child then you have a good case.
