Do I Have Any Rights?

I posted this before, but didn't include the state(s), which are probably important.

Four years ago I adopted my then step-daughter, while her biological father signed over his paternal rights. Since this time her mother and I have divorced. They still live in Indiana, while I live in Texas. The mother has allowed contact between my daugher and her biological father. He writes, calls, and visits her now. I live over 1200 miles away, and last Christmas when I flew up there the mother limited my visitation so the biological father could visit my daughter...is this legal, and what can I do about it? I am the one who pays child support on this child, while he does not. Do I have any recourse?

I'M IN CA, BUT I BET THINGS ARE NOT TOO DIFFERENT THERE AND HERE. YOUR RIGHTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN SET OUT IN THE DIVORCE JUDGMENT. IF NOT GO BACK IN AND GET THEM SPECIFICALLY SET. BIO DAD'S VISITATION IS JUST GRATITUOUS FROM MOM, BUT YOU'RE PROBABLY NOT ON HER BEST BUDDY LIST RIGHT NOW. HONEY GETS MORE THAN VINEGAR. PLAY THE GAME RIGHT AND BE NICE - 1200 MILES AWAY AND SHE CAN MANIPULATE THINGS SO YOU GET NADA.

my son's biological father is getting ready to sign over his rights so that my new husband can adopt him. we spoke to an attorney last week (we are in virginia). when legal rights of the natural parent are terminated and the child is adopted by the new spouse the child is no longer the legal child of the biological parent. you are the child's father as far as the law is concerned. there are very few good fathers out there. children need that. be nice, but go to an attorney or a legal aid agency in your community to see what to do. i believe the odd (and law) are on your side. living far away makes it difficult i realize, however anything worth doing is worth doing well. at the very least call and write your daughter as much as you can until it gets straighted out. she may know you love and want her but it is always nice to hear and who knows what her mother may be telling her.
