Asked on Nov 07th, 2013 on Family Law - Michigan
More details to this question:
My husband adopted my daughter, who has Asbergers, when she was 18. He has basically been her "dad" since she was 7. My ex-husband, rarely would contact her, except to aggravate her. She has no desire to speak to him, and has told him and the police this, as a minor. She lives with us, and receives SSI. My question is, does he have ANY legal right to her? She is 23 now, and he has resurfaced again to scare and anger her, through text and calls.

Biological father has absolutely no legal rights after a stepparent adoption. If he continues to attempt to contact her, help her get a protection order against his harassment.

It isn't clear what right you are actually asking about. Your daughter is an adult and does not have to have contact with anyone she doesn't want to. If he is threatening her she should consider talking to the police.

If his parental rights were terminated, he has no legal connection to your daughter, but as an adult, she can decide who she wants to see or not. If he continues to bother her, then she can seek a restraining order against him.
