Legal Question in Family Law in California

Termination of pariental rights

My son lives in MO. and his X-wife lives in CA. with their daughter and new husband. My son is willing to give up his pariental rights so the new husband can adopt his daughter. Can he get the paper work done in MO. and send it to her. She says it will take a year in CA to get this done. She wants him to keep on paying child support for a year even though he doesn' get to see or talk to his daughter. She also said we the grandparents are not allowed to call and talk to her. He needs to terminate his rights so everyone can get on with their life. He doesn't want his daughter in the middle of court cases that can go on for months.

THANK YOU

Re: Termination of pariental rights

This is a step parent adoption. If your son, the biological father, signs a consent, the adoption will proceed to finalize in 4 to 5 months. The step father must file his adoption request. At this point, the consent can be mailed to your son to sign. It would need to be sent back to the court where the adoption is filed. The step parent will need to retain an attorney.
