In order for you to adopt her child you usually need the biological father to sign over his parental rights. Since he's abusive, its not likely that he will. If you cannot afford a lawyer, contact legal aid and ask how this parental rights can be waived, I have heard of it in some cases such as yours.
No one wants to leave a child in the custody of, or around an abusive person. I do believe there are ways to waive him signing over his rights and allow you to adopt, however most states require you two to be married first.I need some advice on divorce in two states CT and PA?

Which state are you in? Can you get another restraining order? Try researching 'legal aid' and see what you can find. States usually have a law clinic. You definitely need a lawyer on this one. Please tell me what state you are in and I could help look for you.
In PA, child custody is never ';settled.'; IOW, either party can always ask the court to reconsider the matter.
The children and youth services center in PA can help with the rest. I don't know about CT.
CT %26amp; PA? 2 states? That's illegal!
