Can I adopt my step children if the noncustodial parent has not paid child support or visited the kids for a length of time?
Yes, you can adopt your stepchildren even if the noncustodial parent has not paid child support or visited them for a significant period. However, you will typically need to demonstrate that the noncustodial parent's rights can be terminated, which often requires proof of abandonment or failure to support. The process may vary by jurisdiction, so consulting with a family law attorney can help clarify the specific requirements and procedures in your area.
Noncustodial parent give up rights in Indiana?
A procedure for voluntary termination of the parent-child relationship is initiated when a child placing agency or the office of family and children accepts the parent's consent to the termination of the parent-child relationship and files the necessary petition with the juvenile court. A parent does not have the authority to file directly for termination of his/her parental rights because a parent has the duty to support and care for the child until the child is emancipated. And as such, terminating parental rights may not and often does not terminate obligation to pay child support unless the child is being adopted.
Can a noncustodial parent stop the custodial parent from moving out of the country?
i think the real question is whats best for the child which i think is too often not asked - if your job keeps you away from a young child for long periods of time, if its possible you could be deployed without your child, then perhaps its best for the child to be with the other parent - rather than think what you want please do consider the best interest of the child - please do talk it out with the other parent and your child and do whatever is the best thing for all

Either parent or the CSEU can file a petition in Family Court to request a modification (change) to an existing child support order. The modification petition should be based on the fact that either the custodial or noncustodial parent's circumstances have materially changed (e.g., change in income or other changes in circumstances). https://newyorkchildsupport.com/child_support_services.html
Do a noncustodial parent have to pay daycare expense to a unlicensed babysitter?
In general, noncustodial parents are typically required to contribute to childcare expenses as part of their child support obligations, but this can depend on the specifics of the custody agreement or court order. If the daycare expenses are incurred for an unlicensed babysitter, it may be more difficult to enforce payment, as courts often prefer licensed childcare providers. It's important for parents to consult their custody agreement and possibly seek legal advice to clarify their responsibilities regarding unlicensed childcare costs.

Can Child protection agency help with custody if other parents has a unfit home?
In general, child protection does not get involved in custody in any way. If a child is removed from an unfit home the noncustodial parent can often have the child placed with them, but are considered a foster parent in the legal sense. There is a federal law that states that the offending parent has 15 out of the next 22 consecutive months to rehabilitate and get custody back of their child. If this does not happen then the state is obligated to file a termination of parental rights against that individual. If the parent completes rehabilitation then the child is returned to their custody and the parents must determine custody through a separate court action. The short answer is that child protection is generally required to attempt to reunify the child with the parent that they were removed from.
What are the responsibilities of a noncustodial parent to the child. is there any set guide line for what they are obligated to do to assist in support of the child?
These are set out in the child support order. One thing to remember, the custodial parent is also obligated to spend the same percentage of income on the child, but are not required to prove it, so most often refuse to do so. Best option is using a trust fund. see link below.
