I am a divorced mother of two from Minnesota. The Statute for family law is pretty clear that parenting time and child support are not all inclusive, meaning if the court awards paranting time to the non-custodial parent and orders the non custodial parent to pay child support but child support is not being paid that parent can still exercise their parenting time. Recommendation: It is not a good child focused decision to deny parenting time to the non custodial parent just because that parent refuses to pay child support. Work with your county child support office for collection of arrears. The child(ren) should not be put in the middle of personal grown up stuff like that. The child(ren) have the right to see and spend time with both parents.

Unless the biological father has relinquished custody, he can ask the court to grabt custody in case the mother dies or cannot take care of herself.
No, any contact between the child and anyone else is entirely up to the adoptive parents even if it is the biological parent.
You may attempt to contact the biological father to request he give up his parental rights. If he is willing to do this, any family law attorney can process the paperwork. If you are unable to contact the father, you can petition the courts to terminate his rights as an absentee. Again, a competent family law attorney can process this for you.
Yes he can since he still has his parental rights. He might only get visitation first though until they know each other better.
yes, unless he has a restraining order against you.
In general, parental rights are terminated either preparatory to an adoption, or after a trial in which it is determined that the parent is unfit. In any case, termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.
no
In Missouri, when a father has not had contact with the child for six month, whether voluntary, or denied access, the child can be adopted by a stepparent, without official notice. Simply terminating parental rights also terminates financial responsibility, thus the mother cannot claim support.
