Question
I have full legal and physical custody of my son. When I marry my fiance (not the biological father), will he gain any legal custodial rights? Or, is adoption the only way for him to gain those rights?
Hi Jill, adoption is the only way.
I hope this information was helpful to you.
This answer is based solely on the information you have provided in your question and as always, I would advise that you arrange for an in person consultation with an attorney from my firm or another Family Law attorney familiar with Florida Family Law who can analyze the specific facts and circumstances of the case more closely to better advise you.
Sincerely,
