How can adopt my wife's son (my step son)
My wife's ex husband doesn't really take care of his son. He doesn't call or anything. The only thing that we get is approximately $45 every 2-3 weeks but that amount varies. I on the other hand have been providing everything for my wife's son even before we got married since her son was about 3 months old. Ever since I have provided food clothing well everything from dippers to health care and the only thing his bio father provides is gas money because that's the only thing $45 every other week is good for. The relationship between me and my wife's son is the same as a father and son relation. So my question is, I am a marine stationed in ca and his bio father is in Pennsylvania I have provided everything for my step son and his bio father doesn't even call, how do I go about to adopt him and change his last name to mine? And what would happen if he does not agree to it? What would I have to do?
