What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
My girlfriend and her ex-husband have been divorced for 7 years and he has had no contact with or provided financial support for their three children since then. We want for me to be able to put the kids on my medical insurance, fill-out their paperwork for the many sporting teams they play for, and be able to have the right to approve medical treatment for the kids when she is not available. We are both female, so is there custodial agreement which would not require us to track down their father to terminate his parental rights?
