In the animated Disney version of Cinderella, the father had passed on by the time the real story began. This is a change from the original in which the father was alive, and basically did nothing but marry the stepmother, then... Exist? And was assumed to be oblivious to what his daughter was going through, up to and including missing that she didn't have a proper bed to sleep in?
I think Disney made the right call not keeping him around in their version, as short of him keeping the movie from happening, he'd have had to have been kind of terrible.
Fortunately for this version of Edward, his (sort of) being around is fine for the story.
