I have a problem I hope someone can help me with. I live in New York state. My ex-husband is incarcerated for first and third degree felony assault charge on my son. He is serving a 7-14 year sentence for his conviction. I have sole custody and he was issued a permenent order of protection against him. I am now remarried and my husband would love to adopt my three children. He is a great father and has taken care of my kids for 6 years now. My ex-husband will not willingly give up his OK to have my children adopted and I have spoken to lawyers that say that we can go to court and have his rights terminated, but of course, that costs lots of money. Is there anyone out there that can give me any information on how I can do this without a lawyer. Thanks in advance for your help!!
