Can you adopt your wife's child if the biological father cannot be found and has not been in the child's life since he was 9 months old?

Unless the kid is, like, 10 months old, the biodad has abandoned the child. If his parental rights haven't already been severed, they should be, and that should open the door to your adopting the kid. Good luck. * The biological mother will have to file a petition in the state court in the city or county where she resides to have the father's parental rights terminated before the child is eligible for adoption. In such cases the court is generally agreeable, but such cases are judged on their individual merit. In most situations the petitioner will need to show the court that reasonable attempts to locate the biological parent have been made to obtain his or her consent for the adoption. Abandonment laws in most states do not address the issue of the adoption of a child based only on the issue of one or both parents not being present.

What will a judge say when a non-custodial parent wants custody when the child turns 18?

When a child goes to college do you still have to pay child support in Arkansas?

The age of majority for the state is 18, if there is no stipulation in the child support order as to a continuance of support after the child reaches that age, then support can be ended.

If your son's biological father has never seen him or talked to him and has not paid child support does he have any legal rights to him after 9 years?

No! It's to your advantage to take this to court. You want to have it on paper. I don't think much of mothers and fathers (married or not) who ditch their kids, and he doesn't deserve to see this child. However, you have to ask yourself if your child would benefit from knowing his/her father (most kids want to know because there is an empty void left inside of them and they need to fill that up). People do change. You could meet with the father and simply size the guy up and if you feel he has matured and changed for the better then perhaps it would be a good thing to let your child know his/her father. Still, you can have sole custody and let him have visitation rights at your own descretion. Good luck Marcy
