I was married recently and my husband wants to get legal custody of my son. Whos biological father is not around nor ever has been in his life. How do I go about getting custody for my husband?
Answer
Step-parent adoption. You will have to get the bio-dad's consent, or prove you cannot locate him, however. Since he is otherwise on the hook for a lot of back child support, he may be very happy to cooperate.
Answer
Your current husband should petition to adopt your son.
Answer
Yes, a step parent adoption is the correct answer. But, you can terminate the bio-father's rights pretty easily if he has not been involved in the child's life. Better to do this with an adoption experienced attorney. Good luck!
