Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
parental rights
I live in Miami, Fl and my ex -boyfriend wants to give up his parental rights to our 6 year old son. What do we need to do so that his rights are turned over solely to me?

Re: parental rights
The previous answer is a good one, assuming that you are married; the "we"may make it so.
You can also get the ex-boyfriend to sign surrenders and consent to the adoption under a Chapter 63 proceeding. Either way you may want to get an attorney to assist you.

You need to get married (if you aren't now) and have your new husband adopt your son. Your ex-boyfriend can't just leave his son fatherless.
