Let me lay the story out for you. My fiancee has a 17month old boy and just recently the child's biological father is suing her for custody of the child. She received a summons to appear in court. The biological father is a deadbeat, he cheated on her while she was pregnant and then when they came to a verbal agreement over the custody of the child he didn't abide by it. She didn't go to the court and get legal documentation for custody of the child b/c of her status here in the states. So after one night when the father was asked to care for the child he replies to her, "its not my problem find someone." She decided to not let the father she her son. And he threatened her that he'd follow through w/ some legal action. She changed her cell number and house number so that he would stop bothering her. He pretty much harassed her while they had shared custody of the child, he wouldn't buy diapers or when she was with me he'd call her a "*****" and things of that nature. Not to mention he lives w/ random individuals, was inconsistent with the payments of child support, and doesn't have a very "healthy home". Oh and he's not a US citizen. We are about to get married this weekend, how does this affect the case in our favor? and how do i go about adopting the child? I've been raising him as my own since we started dating months ago.
thanks in advance.
edit: the father only wants visitation. but we dont want that.
