Abandonment
Check the laws in your state regarding abandonment. I live in TN (of all places, lol) and if the non custodial parent has not had contact nor paid child support then it is considered abandonment. You could file to do a step parent adoption based on that. Also the lack of child support payments (if it was court ordered) would be considered non-interest. Check with an atty in your state. A lot of atty's will do an initial consultation for free or very little if they charge (I had to pay $50 for the initial consultation and then go from there). Hope this helps.
