What is the name of your state? Indiana
I have a daughter that is 16 months old. I did not name the father on the birth certificate, although I know who it is. He lives in KY and has never paid a dime to me. He at first threatened to take me to court to get visitation rights and custodial rights, etc. but he is into drugs and last I heard is in rehab in KY.
Since the birth of my daughter, I have become engaged and he wants to adopt my daughter and I want him to. My question is, do I just pretend I dont know who the father is? What if later he starts wanting rights, what will happen then?
Would he have to pay for a paternity test if he contested it? What is the likelyhood of a judge giving him rights, with his drug problem?
Any information anyone could give me would be helpful and much appreciated.
Thank you
