Could Prison Time For My Son's Father Allow My Fiance To Be Able to Adopt My Son?

I just got another call from a detective out by my ex/son's father about my ex. Apparently the girl he left me for must've filed menacing charges on him and he told me he broke in her parent's house and mustv'e accessed computer files or something as milk was spilled on the keyboard. Also for felony theft charges from selling "fake" items that never existed to mail out on Ebay. So if he sold these items on ebay for the money and never sent them for anything would he get charged with anything as it being a way to make money and not pay child support? (Kind of under the table earnings?) So I guess he told me he's probably looking at hard time. He has had menacing, phone harassment, menacing by stalking, I think another burgulry of his other ex, and other similar charges before and has been in jail several times. My questions are, how long do you think he'd be looking at? I am hoping at least 2 yrs as I would love for my fiance to adopt my son but I know he won't willingly give up parental rights. Would this help us get custody and my fiance adopt my son if he's put away for a while along with his record of not paying and jail time to show he is really unstable? Thanks much guys!

First of all I would believe only half of what a cop told me and to answer your question .. no your "fiance" can not adopt your son. #1 you are not married #2 the bio father has to consent.

I'm so sorry you chose to have a child with this sort of person.

Being in jail does not mean you lose parental rights, and neither does not paying support. Custody, yes, but it depends why you didn't have it before. They may not give the kid to you.

he has to give permission to adopt but when you guys get married he will be a legal guardian of your son if you have custody

Im pretty sure the only way he can adopt him is if your ex gives up his rights, or he dies. but im sure you can call your local courthouse and they should have free attorney consultations, esspecially for family matters just to be sure

custody yes but, adopt no. The biological father has to sign his rights over.

He would have to sign papers for the adoption to be possible. The only way he wouldn't have to sign them is if the local child services agency were to get involved with the case and work on revoking his rights, good luck with that though, they never want to do more work than they have to. Child Protection Agencies are the some of the laziest people in the world.
