Legal Question in Family Law in California

Re: signing over prental rights

Thank you for your inquiry.

If the father is willing to allow the adoption, then he just needs to sign the appropriate consent form as part of the adoption, and this will terminate his rights. If he won't sign the consent, then you may be able to file a separate action to terminate his rights.

I offer a free initial consultation, so please contact my office to schedule a time that we can meet.

Sincerely,

Monica Donaldson

The father needs to sign a "Consent to Adoption". The form must match the requirements of Arizona law.

I can explain the forms and procedures better by phone or in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via e'mail. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss the matter in more detail.

Please call me directly to discuss the specifics of your case, or contact my assistant Audrey to schedule a free 1/2 hour consultation. I look forward to talking with you.
