If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

The father or fathers of the children would have the right to have the children as they are his children. She would have no right to supersede his rights as a parent.

If she wishes to state her intentions in the event both parents should pass away, she can do so in her last will and testament. Although not binding, the State of Florida will give her intentions serious consideration.
