- Q. What to do if spouse throws stuff out,turns off power,etc,evicts kids & I while not following prenup?
- A: The scenario you presents does not make any sense. If you had an executed prenup it should have most certainly been introduced and been part of any divorce. There are some facts and circumstances missing from what you are saying. I would suggest you consult with an attorney (possibly the attorney who handled your divorce if you trust that person [not sure I would if your prenup was somehow ignored]) to find out your options and what really went on in your case. This is not something someone is going to be able to easily address in this forum without a lot more background information.
- Q. Grounds for termination of parental rights?
- A: Well, first and foremost being in a courtroom battle is one of the most stressful times in anyone's life.

- Q. Can my husband adopt my son with no father listed on birth cert. & bio dad has signed over rights w/o dealing with him?
- A: The short answer is YES. What you propose is a step parent adoption and they are very common. In one procedure/hearing you will terminate birth dads rights and have your husband adopt the child with a new birth certificate, last name, everything. There are some steps advised and you will need to hire someone experienced in this area of law. Birth Dad will have to be served but if he has had not contact and not provided support for some time he will have been deemed to abandoned the child and his protest now will not stop the adoption from moving forward. I work in this area of law and would be happy to work with you.
