What is the name of your state? Michigan
I signed paperwork to be on my child's birth certificate 8 yrs ago and have come to find out that the paperwork used was not for that situation ( an open birth cert). The child is not biologically mine. Yes I knew this. Since then, the woman is my ex and now I want to adopt my child and be on her birth certificate but she (the ex) says no. Can she do this, I'm sure she can raise a stink, but would the judge over ride her objection based on the fact that I have been in the child's life since 3 months of age (child 10 now) and I am recognized in the divorce papers as their father that supplies insurance and the necessities since I have been in her life.
I feel in principle this would be the right thing to have done.
The ex feels I will benefit somehow monetarily. She is a real piece of work.
My lawyer scoffed at this stateing that since I'm recognized in the divorce paperwork as the father, or equity father, that is good enough.
Can my daughter be adopted by someone else since?
Can she still use my last name?
Can I still have her on my insurance?
