Oops...

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Mo/ La
My ex-husband signed away his parental rights and my daughter was adopted by my current husband.
All was fine until my current husband and I got separated, then my daughter said she wanted to move back in with her biological father.
She called him and he said it would be ok for her to move back in with her for awhile to see how it goes. Now, he is trying to reverse the adoption and adopt her back. I am not ok with this. He signed her away once, I cannot rely on him to not change his mind and be all fickle about it.
Either way, my husband and I are going through a divorce.
Does her biological father have any rights since she has been staying with him? She is 16, does that matter?
I am trying to protect myself from his sneakiness since he always seems ready to surprise me with some sort of litigation since he signed over his rights. I think he feels bad about it, but, done is done...
What do you think?

He can not reverse the adoption.

Nothing stated by me should be taken as giving you legal advice or forming an attorney/client relationship. The devil is in the details after all.
