IL state child support laws, if ex wife's new husband adopts child, does that still require me to pay for child support

Asked over 3 years ago - Peoria, IL

If a women's new husband adopts the child, is the father still required to pay child support? Is this the same with either an open or closed adoption?

During the termination of the father's rights the court order should have reflected that support was to also terminate. The law allows for this. However if this order was not entered the father may still owe such funds. It will be a very good idea for you to hire an attorney to have this reviewed.
