We have a little different situation, but I thought I would share. My husband adopted his ex wife's child when my husband was only 18 years old. He fathered this child for a while. This child knew him as his father and noone else. The mother told my husband's family the day the adoption was final that if they ever divorced she would get child support. She knew what she was doing. It was only a year later, she had an internet affair. She wanted a divorce. My husband was stuck paying child support on this child because he was the legal father. Once me and him married, the mother was angry when we were expecting our first child together she told the boy that was not his real father. She then let the boy meet his biological father and have vistations. So needless to say, my husband pays child support and has no vistation. The boy visits his biological father. My husband pays child support, but has no say in medical decisions. The mother just had braces put on the boy's teeth which cost $5,000 dollars, the judge is making my husband pay half. This mother can do whatever she wants, but my husband has no say so. The boy had insurance that would cover braces if they were needed and not cosmetic. But the insurance company said it was cosmetic. We have learned to deal with it,but it has been a struggle. It is sad men get trapped into these situations. I wish there was a law to protect them. We have fought so much on this case, but there is nothing we can do.
