Hi everyone,
So a little back story is I have a 5 year old son from a previous relationship. His biological father isn’t on the birth certificate (his choice) and hasn’t been in his life since day one (again his choice). I have been in a long term relationship since my son was 2 months old. We are engaged currently and have one child together who is 6 months
I want to do something to give my partner rights to my 5 year old especially rights if something happens to me. I want to make sure my son will get to stay with the only Dad he has ever known. I want to make sure my 5 year old gets to stay with his younger brother. I understand that he can’t adopt until married so I want to do something that legally binds them now. I have heard of giving parental rights via consent orders but unsure of the process.
Thanks
