Just looking for some advice on my Partner adopting my daughter.
Been with current partner 4 years.
Have child together, thats on it way due March.
Daughters father has no contact, his decision i have never stopped him. No one in his side of the family, not even grandparents have contact, they cant be bothered as only live 20mins drive away.
He does not help out financially as myself and current partner both work so we do not need his help.
Daughters father already has own children with current partner, for which my daughter has never meet her sisters, nor mentions or asks about them.
My daughter does have ex partners surname.
When my ex partner and myself had our daughter we were not married but his name is on the birth certificate.
Can my current partner adopt my daughter?
Do i have to tell my ex partner?
Can i change my daughters surname once adopted?
Do i have to tell my ex partner i am changing my daugthers surname?
Sorry for going on.
Can anyone help????
