Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

There are other options you may want to explore, as well as severance. You could ask for father to be primary, or for a parenting coordinator. However he may still want to discuss severing his parental rights. It is a complex process, which requires quite a bit of detail. Until the child is adopted, your spouse would still be responsible for support of the child. We offer free 30 minute consultations if you would like to discuss his options in greater detail. 623-748-8973

If Mother will agree, then yes he can both terminate his rights and his child support obligation. Without Mother's agreement, he cannot end his obligatioin, even if he chooses to forfeit parenting time.

We can certainly help you consider and then pursue your options. One of our attorneys can explain the issues and procedures better in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via email. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss your matter in detail.

Please call us directly to discuss the specifics of your matter, or contact my assistant Paige or my paralegal Jennifer to schedule your free 1/2 hour consultation.
