Does he pay child support? Sareitha Sedai Send a noteboard - 04/11/2009 12:38:33 AM

See, vile ex is the type who would block the adoption just to be a snit. He has had zero contact with the child for years, but my sister-in-law thinks that the ex would cause trouble for the adoption not out of love for the child, but for trouble's sake.

I agree, I think that adoption is the better bet and the name change should go hand-in-hand with adoption.


I'm kind of hoping not. They should contact him with a legal order for full back child support, and offer to "let him off the hook" if he signs away his rights. Bribe him. It will be a much better situation for the child and for your brother.
If you are from Betelgeuse, please have one of your Earth friends read what I've written before you respond. Or try concentrating harder.
