Yes, Get an attorney asap. My sons biological father is a theif, a liar and a drug addict. I left him cause of the drugs, the abuse towards me and at the time our 4 month old child.

My husband now adopted him and his father is now sitting in prison. I have been through this. I have lots of advice to give. It very frustrating I know.

My stepdad is also an attorney and if you have any questions please pm me and I can ask him. The laws may be different in different states but at least I can help with a general idea.

I know exactly what you are going through so if you need to talk don't hesitate.
