What can I do in my situation ?
OK, my very specific question. I am a single father of my 11 year old son. His mother and I divorced when my son was about 6 months. Because I was more capable of financially supporting my son I went only for the state min for child support of $100 (which she has never paid). Because the divorce was drug based (on her side) she was granted supervised visitation. Over the course of the past 11 years, she has only seen him once when he was 4 and a half. She has never paid child support, never sent gifts at xmas time or bdays, and no calls... ever. She has done absolutely nothing for this little boy.
I am now remarried and my current wife wishes to adopt him.
Question #1. Do I have the legal ability to have her parental rights removed?
Question#2 If so, can you point me in the right direction to finding the needed documents to file with the court. And how should I file if not abandonment?
Question#3 Can she now... after about 7 years of no contact, change her mind and decide "ooh now I wanna be a mommy" and how will that impact the courts ruling?
