Each state has different laws about that, but most require the agreement of both parties before either can make contact.

You can try to protect this information, but it still might become available to your child when he or she reaches the age of majority.

Yes, I believe you can make that choice. You need to speak with the agency handling the divorce.

Yes. There is a form you can execute (sign before a notary) that is called a "Nonconsent" form. This form prevents the child from attaining 21 years old and going to vital records to request a copy of their original birth certificate with birth parents' names. If you execute that document, the child cannot get your name (unless adoptive parents tell them for some reason). Hope this helps.

Yes, there is a form that lets you withhold your information.
