[MO] If I die, who will get custody of my child?

I live in Missouri and I’m about to give birth. I’m not putting the baby’s dad on the birth certificate since he won’t be part of the baby’s life. The baby and I will live with my parents. If I die, will custody of my baby go to my parents automatically?

The embassy keeps delaying issuing a passport for my son born abroad. Is there anything I can do to speed up the process?

No, I don’t. This is my third time applying, and it seems as though they always find something small to delay me. I feel like it’s done on purpose. For some reason, they say there isn’t enough evidence — like proof of living in the U.S. for over 5 years.

[MN] As a stepfather do I have any custody rights?

I’m not the biological father, but I was with the mother through her pregnancy while the biological father was harassing her to get an abortion. I’ve included the child in my family like he’s my own, gave his mother a car, and did anything I’ve been asked to. Now the biological father is fighting for custody.
