But also if he would sign away his rights then that is a good first step…BUT usually a judge wont allow the termination unless someone is willing to step in and adopt…so ur husband could do that…then when the adoption is done, then you can have a clause in there to have name changed. If you are unable to afford that process, you usually need Dads permission for the name change, if though there is no court documents…hes been established as the father on BC and thru the medicaid system…so he is legally tied to her. Does he pay any support? When was the last time you spoke to him? Every state has diff laws and procudures…so youll want to consult a local custody atty or even legal aid may be able to amswer just some of the simpler questions about the abandonement laws and whats required. 4k probaly is because the lawyer was going to try and do the terminate rights via volunteering, and process ur husband to adopt and replace bio dad on BC…but its hard to tell…lawyers cost alot and when its more complicated like this, absent dad, new spouse, no court orders…it does take alot of work. See if legal aid, can clarify whats steps to take if abandonment is an option and if not what forms/steps to take to terminate his rights if he would and start an adoption from ur husband etc
