    New husband wants to adopt my 5 year old son.
    I got divorced last year. During the divorce, my ex husband signed over ALL rights to our now 5 year old son, to me. He pays no support and does not see her. I have full custady. Since then, I have gotten remarried and my new husband and I want to look into having him adopt my son. Is thid possible without my ex-husbands permission, as He has not been involved in my sons life.

    Many Thanks
    South African

    Yes, that's correct.

    Because laws vary from country to country, and this is an international site, you may be better off talking to a family law attorney in your area.

    I can tell you what the general rules and guidelines are in the US, but that may differ completely from family law in South Africa.
