Legal Question in Family Law in Minnesota

adoption was never finalized with state

I recently found out that the adoption of my step son never was finalized or filed with the state. He has been bouncing back and forth between his mother and I for the last two + years. To be quite blunt he is making our lives miserable and I don't know what I can do. She, my ex, keeps dumping him on me and expecting me to take him. Do I have any recourse if the adoption was never filed or finalized? I am tired of the games and don't know what to do with him.

Re: adoption was never finalized with state

If there was no final adoption, he remains your child with all the rights and responsibilities related to being a parent. That means you must provided care and/or support.
