As stated, parenting time and child support would be handled separately from contesting the adoption. You are unlikely to get custody. Expect that any parenting time granted to you will be in gradual steps. You will not simply be allowed to take him on your own for a day or overnight. You are a stranger to the child. Period. It would not be in his best interests. <--- that is a term you should familiarise yourself with.

We're you married to Mom? If not, how long has she been married to her current husband? This is important information.

Yes, a knowledgeable lawyer MAY be able to stop an adoption, but may not. If the lawyer says they can definitely stop it? Find a different lawyer.

No we weren't married n I think she got married like 3 years ago

Have you been legally found to be the father?

And seriously - start writing like an adult.It is not "n" - the word is "and". Use it. Grow up.

I know I'm on the birth certificate and my kid has my last name but the other posters said I haven't established rights but i don't know how supposed to do that if he already has my last name

ok thanks u I will find a attorney and hopefully I can finally get to see my son and not have him be adopted

Your protestations would seem more heartfelt if it wasn't for the fact that you've sat on your butt for all these years without lifting a finger in asserting and attempting to exercise your claimed parental rights and have provided nothing toward succoring the child. And don't think for a minute that anyone is buying your lame excuses! Because what you claim that prohibited you in the past hasn't changed one iota.

Well she never let me do anything for my son and now the judge will probably let me be there for my son anyway even if she don't want me to that's the difference

She never had to let you do anything since there wasn't a court order. What that means is that you've sat around whining and doing nothing instead of going to court to enforce your rights.

Please just promise me one thing.

Promise that you'll leave ALL homework and education decisions to Mom.

Thank you.

So like u all say I didn't do nothing to see my son even though I did ty messaging her but she didn't let me and I didn't kno I had to go to court to see my own son. So the judge will hold it against me that I didn't go to court before or still give me a chance to see him now by forcing the mom to be ok with it or what??

Have you ever answered the question of what's in the best interest of the child?

Best interest is that my son can have his real dad in his life cus his mom just did wrong in not letting me see him and even tho she found someone he is not his dad i am

I'd answer, but I can see your keyboard is failing. Otherwise, you'd type out complete words.
