It does not sound like you have legal custody of your son. If you do, good.

If you want your fiance to have any legal rights to this kid, then marry her! That is the first step.

If you want a phone consultation, I charge $2 per minute to talk about your options.

[email protected] - to schedule a time for the 3 of us to talk on the phone.

You and your fiance can make a list of questions and we can go over them.

Or, we could meet one week-end.
