QUESTION
Do I need the biological father's permission for my husband to adopt his stepchild?

More details to this question:
My son's "father" is not on the birth certificate and there was a domestic violence charge against him while I was pregnant. I had a no contact order for a year after my son was born. My son is now 6 and will be 7 in December. Would I need to get his permission if I was to get married to have my husband adopt my son?

I would need a bit more information before I could form a firm opinion. Generally, the biological father would have to give up his parental rights or have them extinguished before any adoption could take place by your about to be husband.
