I just realised I never provided a source for why I said Caden's dad was dead.
Here's the posts from his wife about it.

Posts were made in 2021, so it can be assumed he died in early 2020, around half an year before Caden decided to get involved with Chris.
EDIT: Just wanna add some more info here.

Birth Mother:

His step mother mostly posts about her other kids, I've found like a million posts about them and not a single post featuring Caden, so I don't think Caden has much of a relationship with her. I can't really tell his relationship with his birth mother, because she just suddenly stopped posting in early 2014, but it looks like she was pretty close with him as a kid
