Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Representing Appellant: Ronald G. Pretty, Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Representing Appellee: No appearance.

Before HILL, C.J., and GOLDEN, KITE, VOIGT, and BURKE, JJ.


KITE, Justice.

[¶ 1] CJ is the stepfather of ADA and SSA (the children), and SA is their biological father. Stepfather petitioned the district court to adopt the children without father's consent because father had failed to provide adequate child support for the children. The district court denied the petition, finding stepfather failed to prove by clear and convincing evidence that father willfully failed to pay child support. We affirm.
