Child Support/Adoptionmy husband just found out that he is the biological father of a child he's never had a relationship with. the child is 2 yrs. old and my husband received a letter yesterday stating the child is his according to blood and dna testing and the child support amount he is to pay. in a meeting with the mother and welfare lawyer she asked him if it was o.k. if her fiance adopts the child. my husband said yes, since the child does not know him and thinks of her fiance as his father. when the child is adopted does my husband have to pay child support? he wants to take care of responsiblity to the child, but at the same time does not want the child at almost 3 to be taken out of the home to visit with complete strangers. Will the adoptive father and biological mother be solely responsible for this child without my husbands child support? (Illinois) |

Finalized Adoption..Once the fiance is certified as the legal parent, the adopting parent becomes that childs parent as if he/she were born to them in wedlock. The financial responsibility is no longer is the bio -parents. Check with your states requirements for terminating your husbands rights before the adoption judge. Also it is a catch 22 as far as getting involved in the 3 year olds life. I would have pictures sent of their progression and maybe to visit once in awhile but only reference the bio dad as "Uncle" or "Friend of the family". You do not want to confuse a child that young that has a set routine with the only male role model they are use to. It is hard i understand but thinking of the child welfare is first and fore most. But keeping updated is the best he can do for the youngster. It is nice to hear that adults can keep it civil. My hats off to you all for the maturity you have demonstrated thus far!!!! |
