Rather than to a father who continued to have access? Unfortunately, yes.
Unless you are the mother or father of this child, the easiest way would be to make a report with Child Protective Services, who would evaluate the mother's home, if your accusations are founded, and can make a recommendation for a change in custody to the court.
The stepmother would have been able to adopt the child only if the biological mother had voluntarily relinquished her parental rights or had them terminated by the court. Either action is permanent and cannot be reversed. The question is why is the minor child residing with the mother at this time without the permission of the court? If the court has granted permission (which is doubtful), the mother would also have been granted limited custodial rights. You need to file that the child was abandoned by the custodial parent with you for 3 years and that you wish for custody back. Be prepared to prove you are the best for the child. Nothing is permanent in child court.
If she's kept the claim current.
Yes, by mutual agreement of the parents, by death of the mother or by a court order.
You need to return to the court that has jurisdiction and petition for full legal and physical custody and the termination of that child support order. It would go much easier if the child's mother would consent to the petition for custody.You need to return to the court that has jurisdiction and petition for full legal and physical custody and the termination of that child support order.

not without a court case
It's not for the mother to decide. He has to petition for visitation in court. She can not go against a court order.
In this case, you can not force the mother to be in contact with her child, neither can the court, however, you are, and by all means, entitled to child support. All you need to do is, file for it.
No, the parent paying child support have to let the court know the child is 21 and ask for a modification to end it. They will send letters to everyone involved.
No. At any time the mother can retrieve the child. He must get a Court order. see related link
It depends on the reason for the removal from the mother's custody and whether the situation has been resolved. The court will always consider the best interest of the child as its primary concern.It depends on the reason for the removal from the mother's custody and whether the situation has been resolved.

The court can not order a paternity test after the child turns 18. The child is considered an adult at 18 years old.
