Question:

My husband was married before and adopted his ex-wife’s son. Now the son wants nothing to do with him. Can we have the adoption overturned?

Question: 

About 10 years ago I gave my daughter up for "open adoption" in surrogate court but also won visitation rights. We barely had any contact until we reunited last week. It is going great, but my daughter's parents are very unreasonable and have threatened me to stay away from my daughter even though she is 18.

She lives with them, but she is legally an adult and I'm wondering if there's anything legally her parents can do to keep me from seeing her?

Question: My ex and I went through a divorce that was finalized in 2007. 

I got a letter in the mail last week saying that my ex's parents want to adopt my daughter. This means that my ex is giving up custody rights so does that mean that the rights default to me? 

I haven’t even been able to see my daughter because she lives far away and I can’t afford to fly there so will this have an impact on the case?

 Also, if I agree to the adoption to my daughter’s grandparents does that mean I stop paying child support?
