Dear all, writing to seek help on my case. I am really lost and could not find any information from google.
To cut short the whole story, my EX was in and out of prison since my pregnancy till recently released in Dec 2011.
We have not contacted for the past almost 1.5 years till his released.
I have since married and requested for him to consent to the adoption to my husband as his name is in the BC.
He refused and requested for a large amount of money, which we reject.
Consulted a lawyer and he told me not possible without the father consent unless he is uncontacted. Instead asked to do sole custody, care and control.
Anybody can advise if that is the only thing I can do? With his criminal records since 2005(in his teens years) with the police, medical report to prove his abusive and of cuz obvious proof that he have not paid a single cent towards the child, nor even bothering about the child at all(never request to see the child since released) and not writing to us in the past years he is in prison, can I still not fight for dispense of consent?

(a) has abandoned, neglected, persistently ill-treated the infant or cannot be found and that reasonable notice of the application for an adoption order has been given to the parent or guardian where the parent or guardian can be found;
