My husband adopted my son who was mine from a prior marriage. My son's father has been unsupportive and absent for most of my son's life. My husband has been a wonderful father to him.
At the time the adoption took place we agreed that my ex would still be able to be a part of our son's life, but we wanted to adoption to ensure that he would not be seperated from his sister in the event of my death- my husband would get custody of both.
After a few months, my ex husband started drinking again and we decided the risk to our son's emotional health was not worth it and we cut all ties. He is a very violent drunk.
My ex husband has quit drinking even if only temporarily and is saying he's getting a lawyer to reverse our adoption because we did not hold our end of the bargain up. There is nothing in writing about him being allowed to visit his son and he no longer has rights. Can he do this?

If you go to the government & politics then click on law ðics some times there are lawyers there they would be able to answer this better than we can. My guess would be no he gave up his rights but who am I.

He can try, but chances are slim to none he would win. He won't find a decent lawyer willing to take the case anyway. Any lawyer who takes this on will be of the snaky variety, just out to take his money without telling him he's got almost zero chance of winning.

Your question is posted in the wrong category, but no he can't. Especially if he is a drunk and a violent one, he will be lucky to get supervised visits 1x a week. If there is no clause about visitation in the decree he won't have a case.
