Child support is paid until the child is 18yo.
YOU do know adoption doesn't mean you can sleep with them...
TANF eligibility is based on physical custody, not legal custody.
How does he have any visitation rights with a custody and child support order?
It depends if it is a kinship placement or not. If the child is related to you, you can file for adoption as part of the termination of parental rights or anytime thereafter. If it is a kinship placement, the case worker should explore the possibility of you adopting the child as part of their permanancy plan for the little one. If this is NOT a kinship placement and you are a foster parent, you need to have the child in your care continuously for one year before you have standing to sue for custody/adoption of the child. Hope that helped some.
Child support is not paid to the child. It would be payable to the person who currently has legal custody of the child or to the State if the State has custody.
Yes.
No it is not. Adoption is permanent.
Permanent means forever right? The answer is simply no, even if you hired a attorney and went through the court, the answer will still be NO.
If you don't have a stable environment then the court is not likely to terminate the temporary custody. The court is only concerned with the safety of the child. It is more likely to render a permanent custody order. Your child deserves to be living in a safe, stable environment.If you don't have a stable environment then the court is not likely to terminate the temporary custody.

If she left the state, file an injunction to return the child. Other than that, you will need to prep for a custody challenge. See links
If you live in the US... Children are not property and therefore cannot be 'willed'. You can state in your will who you would like to receive custody, but the court is not required to abide by it. For example, if Mom has custody of a child, she dies and her will states that she wants her sister to receive custody, but Dad wants custody...Dad gets custody, unless he can be proved unfit, because Dad has first legal right to custody (Mom's wishes don't change that).
