Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
My son adopted a child a few years ago, the marriage to her mother did not work out and now, the mother wants my son to revoke? the adoption. There is no problem with that,but, we don't know how to go about doing this without having to deal with her. She says all she needs is a notarized statement and she will handle the rest, does this statement have to be notarized by a lawyer or any notary

Since your adopted the child, he is the legal father. To terminate his parental rights, he would need to file a Petition to Terminate Parental Rights. Either he or the mother can file the Petition and he could sign a consent form, which would best be prepared by a private attorney.
Though Ms. Demapan's solution may work, it may be even more difficult than that. Usually, the only way to terminate an adoption is to have another person adopt. Either way, a notarized letter will not work.
