Do i need a lawyer to have my ex sign over his parental rights? -

I have a 6 year old child with my ex and have been seperated from him for quite some time now. Do i need a lawyer to get him to sign over his parental rights?

no if you can do the legal paper and he signed it. But , probably you are better off with a lawyer

You CANNOT have your ex sing over his parental rights UNLESS he is willing to do so OR he is proven to be physically or emotionally dangerous to the child (unfit). He could be the worst piece of %^*% om the planet and the court will still give him visitation if he proves himself to the court and wants to be in the childs life. Be careful and remember the courts only want what s best for the child, not what the parents wants are.. It s more delicate than you may think so you should definately seek the advice of a reputable attourney because they can screw you over as well. Hope this helps...

You need your ex s consent and, in most states, you need someone to replace the paternal father to adopt the child. You don t need a lawyer, but you cannot quot;getquot; your ex to terminate the parenthood. It has to be completely his choice or he can sue and have the termination undone if he was persuaded or threatened to sign the child over.

You need a court order after a trial.

The decision to sign over parental rights isn t up to you. Your ex has to agree to it and it must be approved by a judge. There has to be severe reasons for a judge to take away someone s parental rights. Most will not approve it unless you have a new spouse who is willing to take financial responsibility for the child. You can probably do it without a lawyer,but I wouldn t.
