Legal Question in Family Law in California
My ex-wife and I are in the military (navy). We got divorced not too long ago. She rarely lets me see my children yet demands money on a regular basis. The times I do get to see my children, my time is very minimal due to the constant checkups she gives. It is impossible to spend time with them and when I do, she makes it impossible to have any shared quality time. She has asked time and time again for me to sign my rights off to my children and I have decided that I want to go ahead and do so. What are the steps needed to go about this????

You really need to file a motion to establish a child sharing order that will give you rights to the children and which the police will help you enforce. In California, custody should be granted to the parent most likely to see that the other parent has frequent and meaningful contact with the children. You may call my office for a free consultation.

In California it is legally impossible to give up your parental rights and responsibilities voluntarily unless your child is being adopted, such as when an ex remarries and the step parent adopts.
Or I would add, if a Dependency Court issues an order terminating your parental rights. Agreements between parents to waive support or visitation are unenforceable in court.
