If the fathers name is not on the birth certificate but he has been named for child support you will never be able to without his concent. You do not have to be on the birth certificate if she went to the courts and named him as the father. the birth certificate is only good if she never filed for child support and he has never paid.

∙ 18y agoI am sure it is different in each state, but in Michigan I know that you must be married for 6 months before the courts will allow you to adopt your spouses kids. I don't believe you can adopt them before marriage.
