My son was adopted a year ago by my boss/family friend in Virginia. Before the adoption took place my boss told me that he only wanted to adopt my son because if anything ever happened to him he wanted to leave everything he had to us because he were the only people he trusted and that nothing was going to change with the adoption. After the adoption he started yelling at us all the time and just treating us horribly. He never lets me take my son anywhere and or even let me spend time with him unless he's there even though I live in the house with them. I feel if my son and I stay there any longer things will get worse and more dangerous and I just dont know what to do right now. I wanted to see how I would go about undoing the adoption if thats possible, how long it could take, if i would be able to have my son if the whole thing went to court, and if something bad happens at the house(like if he gets physical for example) what I can do in that situation?
Vienna, Virginia Already Tried: I've tried talking to some lawyers. I've tried talking to my boss about undoing it and he always tell me to leave and says "take your little bastard with you" but when i try to he yells at me and tells me he'll have me arrested.
Thanks for your question. You will need a lawyer her to see if you have residual custody rights. The court would have to decide if you would be able to modify the custody in this situation. A lawyer could certianly file and the court would decide the matter.This is a tough situation here. A lawyer in this matter can assert and file for custody on your behalf. Ultimately the court decides who gets custody of the child. I agree with you that you need to get away here from this person as they don't seem to be a good influence. A lawyer here is critical because this will be contested and you need to present an organized case and testimony in order to prevail. This may be possible here with the assist of your lawyer. I wish you good luck here..
