- Q. Do you have to contact birth father if they weren't married to the birth mother and didn't go to court for rights?
- A: The birth father may have to be placed on notice of the intent to adopt; however, his consent may not be required if he failed to communicate or attempt to communicate with the child without just cause for over 6 months. Your fiance would likely need to marry you, however, to be considered for an intrafamily adoption.
- Q. In Louisiana divorce, does living in a separate structure on the same property constitute "living separately and apart"?
- A: Yes, living under a different roof on the same property can constitute living separate and apart.
- Q. A man signed an acknowledgement of paternity in order to help the mother, by allowing the infant to get his SSI
- A: It is possible to do. I have actually been successful in getting this one in a situation where the mother passed away.
