Question

My ex husband has disappeared on me and my now 10 year old son 6 years ago. I don't even know if he is alive. Hasn't called, visited and no child support. I have used all my resources family and friends to try to locate him. No luck. Went to family court twice. But all they gave me is a court date and a some papers to serve him. I can't serve him with anything because I don't know where he is. Cases dismissed. Me and my son are doing well.

I don't have money for an attorney as I am a single mom. I want sole custody. Take his fatherly right away. I want to be the only parent.

If he would ever show up I would let him see my son. But I don't want him to have any legal rights. How do I pursue such a case with limited founding
