I'm reading differently - I'm seeing that she really doesn't want Dad to have rights. Obligations, sure - but no rights to custody.

Apparently there is case law to that effect, so it's not explicitly prohibited. My handy-dandy wikidation shows... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Louisiana This is much better (and recent): http://www.nclrights.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/2PA_state_list.pdf And much as I...

Okay, that's one less hurdle for him to jump through. If he files for visitation, he will get visitation. Time to accept that sooner rather than later.

Are you talking about custody, adoption, second parent adoption? The answers matter.

If he files for a paternity he will be able to do so - you won't have an option. You can expect joint legal custody and you being CP, while he has visitation.

I'm sorry, but your situation goes far beyond the scope of a message forum. Or are you doing homework?

Y'know, I'm thinking you should get that detective's details. That's the first thing you should do. Because I agree, that does not sound legitimate to me.

Sorry, this is an American forum,

Look at it this way. Dad can now keep that attorney on retainer. Your lawyer is correct.

This is not a tricky question, nor is it a tricky answer. You have a child. You have an obligation to support that child. You don't get a Mulligan. Pay the child support. I have to ask - what on earth makes you think this is even possible?

That depends on the bankruptcy, actually. A simple no-asset Ch.7 will result in at least some of the funds taken during the previous 60 days.

Here's reality. He has a child with your daughter. For this reason alone, it's doubtful that she can withdraw sponsorship. Here's the really sticky part though. Your daughter sponsored him? She could easily be on the hook for supporting him per the I-864. Your daughter is also...
