I can't tell you what is on those papers unless i see them. Please, contact our law firm.

Support is not contingent on visitation.
That's a given. Once the custodial parent takes any government money, no matter how little, the case belongs to the CSRU.
If you wish to contest the adoption you will have to hire an attorney in Iowa to represent your interests. If you did not see your son in six years it is going to be a tough argument for you to make.
