Shd I go for adoption???

I have a gal of near aged 3 and my marriage was annulled therefore I have full custody of her.

I just got married and am wondering if I shd adopt her or not???

Understand that I'm no matter what thye biological mother but is only my hubby.

If no adoption, he doesn't have any rights.

If go for it, he will be the "official" father but cost me $4000 (Estimate)

Anyone knows of lawyers that is cheaper???

Shd I go for it or not???

$4000++ is IF the father of the child CONTESTS (do not agree) to the adoption.
If the father willingly sign away his rights, then $1k can settle the admin work already.

But what happens is my prev marriage is annulled and that guy got no rights over the adoption.

I know $4000 is very expensive dat's why I'm asking if anyone knows of cheaper lawyers that will do the same job.

actually, as long as he is the bio-father n hasn't sign away his rights over her, he will still has the rights over the adoption..

Kimyen, means your child got no one listed under 'father' in birthcert? If it's like that, it's direct case will be cheap.

is he the bio father of your child?if not why is his name on the BC? kinda confusing here. he cant just remove his name from the BC as n when he wants to. if his name is on your child's BC and he is NOT the bio father, i think he needs to take a DNA test to prove that he is not the father, then he can remove.

It's under a police case but understand that it'll take very very long

I guess there wont be any problem if your current hubby agrees to the adoption and your ex hubby has been proven not to be the biological father.
