Q: How do you have a bio parent sogn off theirnrights when you have no contact woth them?
I want my husband who has now known my son for almost 10 years to adopt him so he has parental rights and we all have the same last name. I live in Michigan and because bio dad pays child support I guess he has rights to my son. I don't even receive my child support every month. My son will be 14 and has never met bio dad. What are next steps to have bio dad aogb off his rights? I have no contact with bio dad either.
A: You can try a step-parent adoption.
