My name is Deb, 36, divorced, remarried and Virginia resident.
I have a bunch of questions. Can someone help answer some or all?
1.)
RE: My Ex-Husband
After seven years of no contact, no letters, no phone calls, no child
support and court document for relinquishment of custody to include
access to my 11 year old son, Can my ex decide after seven years of
being away that he wants to be an involved father and prevent my husband
from being able to successfully do a step-parent adoption?
2.)
Is there a chance that my ex-husband will be acknowledged as a paren
with rights and have his rights restored if he ask for it?
3.)
In a property settlement agreement, it was agreed that my ex-husband
would NOT be held liable for child support. And in that agreement, there
is a lot of tricky wording to protect my ex-husband's best interest and
not the interest of my son. My ex even admitted that his lawyers worded
it that way, but what I would need to know is that if he seeks
visitation, would there be a good chance that I could collect back child
support from the past seven years?
4.)
Also, I signed the agreement during a time when I was in an emotional
mess. My dad who I spent much of my time at his bedside had a bad heart,
scleroderma and died two days after the agreement was signed, my dog
died one day before the agreement was signed and my uncle who had had a
heart transplant prior, died a few weeks after I signed the agreement.
At the time that I signed the agreement, I wasn't myself and went
through an extended grief process that was prolonged with the loss of
two additional individuals, an aunt who died of cancer and a friend who
had a fatal heart attack. I know I have heard that we should read before
we sign, but my emotional state at that time was a mess and all I wanted
to do was get back to my dad because I knew he was dying.
If there is anyone who can offer any input or advice or who would like
to examine the tricky wording in the agreement, please let me know.
You're welcome to share what you know.
Thanks.
