"Continuing to pursue Richard's family will get you nowhere. That chapter closed when Richard gave up his parental rights to Brady, and Eddy adopted the little boy. Until your son is no longer a minor, Eddy may have a financial responsibility for him. I hope he is acting more responsibly than Brady's biological father did and that their relationship will continue in spite of the divorce."
"DEAR ABBY: I have been married for almost 40 years. I'm recently retired, in great shape and very active. I hike, bike, walk, play golf and do strength training. My wife will retire soon. She's 100% sedentary and does none of these activities with me. She has mobility issues that could be corrected with surgery, but she refuses to have the surgery, which means her mobility issues will worsen. She'll need a caregiver to help her in the not-too-distant future which will be me."
A mother had a son with a man who left after she became pregnant; the biological father later had his parental rights legally severed and the mother's husband adopted the child. The biological father's relatives refuse to acknowledge the child after the legal severance despite photographs and the child's knowledge of his father. Continued attempts to involve that family are unlikely to change the legal and social reality, and the adoptive father may retain financial responsibility until the child reaches majority. Separately, a recently retired, active spouse worries that a sedentary partner with correctable mobility issues who refuses surgery will require caregiving, reducing anticipated retirement enjoyment.
