Q: If me and my son's father were never married, and he went to prison when my son was 7 weeks old and got out 2 months
After turrning 2, he doesn't pay child support what legal rights does he have to my son. He doesn't try to see my son, doesn't call or try to contact. My son hates going there. Is there a way for my fiance ( that raised him) to adopt my son?
A: You don't say whether an order for visitation exist. You do say he doesn't try to see his son and doesn't call or try to contact. Which is it? Your fiance cannot adopt your child. If you marry him, then it would be possible.
