In California if you die and was never married to the father of your child can you assign custody to your parents?
More than likely the child will be placed in the biological fathers custody in the event of your death. If the father is not in the child's life it will be best to have him relinquish his parental rights so in the event of such accident the child can legally reside with your family.
How do you legally adopt a spouses child if the father was never on the birth certificate and doesnt kno the child?
First you have to check the putative father registry. IF the father registered in the registry (which he can do without anyone being notified of his registration) then you have to terminate his rights by notifying him. Otherwise when you file for the adoption with an attorney they will know the particulars for your state. Just because a parent doesn't know the child does not mean he isn't entitled to know the child. For example if I die today my son legally goes to his unajudicated father even though my child does not know him. The other parent is always going to have a right higher than yours until the termination. If she knows the fathers name it is easiest to have him agree to terminate his own rights. If you file on your own to adopt him she will have to attempt to serve him (and any other potential fathers) at his last known address and you will have to run notifications in your local newspapers for any/all potential father(s) names in their last known hometown.
