My ex husband adopted my children Now that we are divorced he has gotten in touch with the bio dad and wants him to get his rights back Will thecourts allow that?

Answer 1

Has the bio dad always wanted to be part of his kid's lives or did he sign off so your ex could adopt them in order to get out of the responsibility? You may have to fight this in court if the reasons he wasn't granted or didn't want custody in the first place indicate that he is not going to be a responsible parent now.

As for your ex...what kind of complete jerk is this guy. He adopts your kids and while you are married they have grown to know him and love his as their father and now he just wants to dump them along with you? How could he do this to those kids. I would fight what he wants to do with every fiber of my being and then make sure he is ordered to pay child support...and also make sure that he is only allowed supervised visits with your kids.

Answer 2

If the adoption was done according to law then the financial support of the children is his responsibility. It is unlikely that he will be able to escape that responsibility. The adoptive parent would need to relinquish his parental rights and the biological father would need to petition the court to have his rights reinstated. He would also need to pay child support. The court would not leave a child without a father who is responsible for their support. If the fathers proceed with this action you would need to appear at the hearings and make your objections known.

It would help if you could consult with an attorney who specializes in family law and adoptions who could review your situation and explain your rights and options. Perhaps the attorney who represented you in the divorce.
