What is the name of your state? Ohio
My 16yo son has had no physical contact with his bio father in over 10 years. Support was established in 1997, and an administrative paternity ruling (dad was not present at cs hearing) was made at that time. Bio father's name isn't on the birth certificate. No custody was ever established. Stepdad and I have parented son together for 13 years. Bio lives in SC. Son is unwilling to follow house rules any longer and wants to be allowed to live with Bio dad. Bio dad paid for ticket and son took Greyhound bus to SC last week. He now wants to live there until he graduates in 2008.
We don't want him to live there, but feel son will be angry and uncooperative if he doesn't get to live with biodad. Biodad has numerous out of wedlock children, and has told son that he was able to enroll other sons in school with no problem.
How to proceed from here??What is the name of your state?
