As indicated above, there really is no way without consulting with an attorney.
If your ex is not paying any child support and it is not known specifically where your ex lives in order to be served the appropriate papers, at is a HUGE deal to terminate a parents rights to a child, they attorney will have to run Public Notices in the area your ex was last know to live in and the area where it is last reported that he has moved to for a Court date for him to respond. If not after usually 2 attempts, then the Court is much more likely to terminate his rights and allow your current guy to adopt the child.
Keep in mind that once rights are terminated, or if your ex would sign off, he is no longer required to pay child support and the child is no longer has access to any benefits that he may have supplied in the past (nor does he ever have access legally to the child...it is a permanent termination).
Likewise, your current boyfriend needs to realize if he does adopt your child, he is accepting legal responsibilty for the child until your son turns 18, even if it doesn't work out between the two of you that long (not trying to tell you pessimistically, only realisically...if you searh YA, especially under this section of "Law and Ethics" you will find numerous questions where non-blood men have taken on the roles of father or adopted and ask how to get out of "it" when the relationship does not work out.)

As "Professor Longhair" said No you can't; at best you can serve him with the paperwork and hope he doesn't show up which will weigh heavily in your favor. I can not stress enough the importance of doing it through the courts because to do it any other way will make you look bad and give him a chance at full custody.
I wish you and your new beau all the best.

baby help and visitation are unrelated. the two mum and dad have rights to visitation and custody whether neither is paying or receiving baby help. the baby has a criminal perfect to economic help from the two mum and dad. in ordinary terms you have the flexibility perfect now to make that take place. as quickly as paternity is widespread, he might would desire to ask the court docket for particular rights (visitation and custody). The court docket is had to rule in the baby's acceptable pastime. If he's to blame of rape, he would desire to be on the intercourse criminal registry. i don't know a choose who might approve unsupervised visitation by making use of a intercourse criminal. seek for suggestion out of your lawyer as quickly as available. Or touch your state's baby help company. Many have courses to start the approach formerly the baby is born. stay sturdy.

You can't do it without going to court. While you're there you're going to need a lawyer.

contact her and ask her to sign her rights over. Since she is not involved she may be willing.
