It should be sought to avoid legal problems. With a 60% rate of fathers being denied access to their child, not being involved is not necessary the case. But, in Kansas, if the father did not begin paying child support during the pregnancy, he cannot challenge an adoption.
No, if the bio's name is not on the birth cetificate then your husband should be in the clear to adopt your child!!!
The father can still challenge
no

If he has primary custody or even visitation rights, you cannot take his child far enough away that he cannot readily exercise his custody/visitation rights unless he gives you permission to do so.
NO. She needs the permission of the court that has jurisdiction over the case. She cannot interfere with the father's visitation rights. If an agreement cannot be reached between the parents the judge will decide.
If you live in the US... The child having the father's last name has NOTHING to do with custody. If Dad is listed on the birth certificate as the father, then both parents have equal custodial rights until a court declares otherwise--you need a custody order. If Dad is not listed on the birth certificate, it will be a simple thing for him to petition the court to establish paternity and once that's done he can then petition for custody/visitation.
If you have joint legal custody then you will need the father to sign paperwork to get a passport for your daughter to leave the country. If she already has a passport and your trip out of the country does not interfere with his visitation then you have every right to take you daughter anywhere you want to take her:-)

Not without his fathers and the courts permission.
If she has full custody, then yes.
Only with their permission. The custody order have to be changed in the court it was issued.
No, not if your mother has sole physical custody. If there is a joint custody arrangement, you'd still need the cooperation of both parents to make it happen.
That is dependent of custody orders, but even without, the other parent could file an injunction.
in the state of north carolina if the fathers name is not on the birth certificate can he file for custody?
only if the mother has full custody or if they are married i am pretty sure that is legal.
You have the authority to get medical treatment for your son. If you have any doubts or if the father has already objected then consult with your attorney.
Yes, but he can challenge, which he should.
