My question involves paternity law for the State of: Man in NC....Mother and child in Alabama.
My niece decided to put unknown father on birth certificate. Now 6 yrs. later, ex boyfriend has contacted her parents demanding rights to this child. Mom and child haven't had any contact with him in 5 yrs. Mom is now married, and her husband is the only father this child has known. There has been no father established for this child, and her husband wants to adopt him....would it be possible for husband to claim paternity for this child? Ex boyfriend has had drug problems, said today, to Mom's parents, that he has been in rehab, and wants to be a father.....
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
