I have a son who left my household at age 14 to live with his father and stepmother. He does not remember me and would not recognize me if he met me on the street.
Can I argue, that for purposes of inheritance, that this child is no longer mine?
Do I have to include him in my estate plans?
Am I forced to recognize his children as my grandchildren?
His stepmother refuses to adopt him to keep his claim on my family.

There must be a way out of this!
