ok I wanted to know if you can terminate a fathers rights if is in jail? I have 2 kids that my husband wants to adopt, and looking on the internet i know you are suppose to get the biological fathers consent, thus, I have had no contact with the biological father for over 4 years, and he has had no contact with my children as well. S o with this also in mind. My kids do not no their biological father . they believe my husband “that i recently married and been w/for 7 yrs” is there only DAD.
So if i can terminate his rights how do I go about this process on my own without a lawyer, Since money is crucial right now since my husband is in his last year of medical school and we have 5 kids all together thats:including my 2 kids i brought into the relationship” oh I hope I can get any help there is. Oh and I live in the state of Illinois.
thanks :)
