Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

My sons father did not sign his birth cetificate and is not involved in his life. I have a good cause order so he does not pay child support and has no visitation. We had a private DNA test done a few years ago so peternity is not in question. I have some serious health problems and want to make sure that my son is taken care of should I be in the hospital or worse. I am getting married in august to man we consider my sons dad and want him to be able to keep our son should something happen to me. I don't have money to hire an attorney what can I do?
