Please reply : step- parent adoption, biofather imprisoned for violent crime
My 6 yr old sons biological father is in prison for attempted rape and assault with a DW,he has been given 10 yrs , and has served 5 already.we were married and then separated after 9 months, during that time he was abusive to me and threatened to hurt my son many times.I have been with a wonderful man for the last several years he is who my son knows as dad.He wants to adopt my son, and we have talked to an attorney about step- parent adoption.The biological father has tried to communicate to my son thru his mother, by calling at times my son is visiting, and sending cards, he will fight and make things very difficult for us.
We live in Ca, and law on parental rights here states that imprisonment, and crime that proves parent unfit, are some grounds for temination.
This process hasnt yet been started , firstly because we havent been married yet, but we have been living as a family for about 4 years now.
Is anyone here in a similar situation?and has anyone known of a case like this to win?
