Description
This is an appeal by D.L.J. (stepfather) from a superior court order stating that his petition to adopt his wifes daughter would not be granted without the consent of the natural father, W.D.R. Under AS 20.15.050(a)(2), the absent parents consent is not required "if the parent for a period of at least one year has failed significantly without justifiable cause... (A) to communicate meaningfully with the child, or (B) to provide for the care and support of the child as required by law or judicial decree." There is no question that the natural father failed to send support payments and to communicate with his daughter for two and a half years prior to the adoption proceedings. After a hearing, the probate master found the natural fathers consent could not be dispensed with, however, because there was "justifiable cause" for his conduct.
