Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina
Wanting to adopt my step daughter
My wifes boyfriend left her when she was 5 months pregnant. Our daughter is now 2 1/2 tears old. She never had a paternity test. Now I would like to adopt her. He has also had 2 other kids since my daughter by two other women. How hard would it be for me to adopt her? If he got parential rights would he have to pay back child support.

It would be very helpful in answering your question if you had stated do what degree he visits and stays in contact; also, would he oppose an adoption?
