if the father has custody over the child then yes. I have a step father that i wish was my real father but i have to see my real father twice a year
no
now a stepfather can't adopt a child without the concent of the child's father
last i knew unless there is a step father willing to adopt the courts will not let you give up rights if there is a step father willing to adopt you will not have to pay child support
A step-father will not be able to adopt a child unless the father signs away his rights. You can take it to court and win the case.
If your birth father allowed your step father to adopt you, you do not have rights to your birth father's estate where I am sitting; however, 10 feet behind me you do. See a lawyer.
Not sure what state you live in, but in Florida, the answer is YES as to your mother's assets. As her spouse upon death, the step-father has the rights. However, as to a sister or brother, your father will have the rights as to their assets if the step-father did not adopt them.
Your actual father (biological father or husband of your mother at the time of your birth) does not need to adopt you; you are already his child. What is usually more relevant is "how does your step-father adopt you" or "how does your dad get exclusive custody of you." The answers to these questions differ greatly from state to state and country to country.
if you are married to your partner you become the step mother or father. Talk to your partner about this
yes you could have tried to adopt them your first day of being a step parent. once you adopt the child, the biological father will never be required to make child support payments again.
An adoptive father is your legal guardian and is your father. A step father is a man who marries your mother. He does not have to adopt you and cannot unless your biological father agrees to give up his rights as a parent.
Only if the birth father's parental rights are terminated (legally)If the birth father disappears, you may be able to have his rights terminated due to abandonment, but there's no guarantee that this will be granted.
