What do I need to do to get my stepchild added to my orders? Is there information in AR 608–99?

Having difficulties adding my stepchild to overseas orders. Spouse didn't remove her Childs fathers paternal rights, father has not been in the Childs life and refuses to have any correspondence with parent or child. Child was born out of wedlock. What do I need to do? Levy/orders office has been unhelpful with where to go or what to do?

Of Course you do. Who told you otherwise?

You probably won't be able to this late in the game unless you have him sign away his custody and sign the passport application. You need to request a deletion of your assignment now before you end up spending several years OCONUS without your family. If you're not in contact with the other parent this will take too long to fix
