Around two years back I got married. I was unmarried before that but it was my wife's second marriage and she had a 10 year old son from her first marriage. My wife had got divorced from her first husband 8 years back and she was given custody of the child. Her ex-husband is not paying any alimony or any other kind of money for the child. I have adopted my wife's son as my son. Do I need to do this adoption legally in some way?
After our marriage, we had asked our son's school to change his biological father's name and replace it with mine. But even after two years the name has still not been changed and we are told to put an ad in the newspaper. What should be the content of the ad and what is the proceedure to change the father's name in the school?
I would be really grateful if someone could throw some light on this.
