What is the name of your state? MA
I just found out that a friend of mine, found out that his 8 yr.old was adopted by the mothers new husband. SHe never contacted him to let him know about the adoption. She claims she had no idea where to locate him. He's been at the same job since the child has been born, she has his cell phone number, his work number. He's been sending her checks for support, which have his address on it...but she's never cashed them. Needless to say she got a letter from the childs doctor and minister stating that he was not in this childs life. He has tried to contact this child for a long time, but the mother has moved out of state, he even showed up at the house and she would not let him see her.
She did run an ad in the paper, but he never saw it.
Is this legal? Can he fight this? He was never married to her, and they had no written agreement. They did have an agreement where he would see her once a week...if he was allowed to, and he would pay for the new van instead of *child support* Once the van was paid for, she made it harder and harder for him to see her. She left the state, and remarried and now has had this new husband adopt his child. Isn't there a certain amount of years that the father has to be out of the childs life before this can happen?
I'm not even sure if he wants to pursue this as he is low on money and I think he's just so tired of all the fighting with the mom. But I would like to know if this is indeed all legal on her part?
