my son's dad has been M.I.A. from his life for nine years. (he is nine years old) the father is an army ranger and is now married with two children and one on the way. i cannot find anything on army policies regarding this matter. i want to know what the army would do if they knew he had a child that he had never supported or seen. not jesture has ever been made. i was 19 when i had my son and was going to place him for adoption, but the father would not sign the papers, but now he says he wants to terminate his parental rights. my husband would adopt my son but it just does not seem fair (although probably in my son's best interest)that the biological father could have place all the responsibilities on me because he didn't want to sign then, but now he will and will no longer be able to be held responsible for a life he helped bring into this world. also, no one has legal custody of my son. i cannot get back child support because the father was never court ordered to give it yet if he would decide he wanted our son all he would have to do is take him. i would have to go to court to get him back. he has the same rights as i do to our son, yet he is not held responsible for his financial well being. (i live in virginia which is the laws i need along with the military side of it) if i could get any advice i would be thankful.
