Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana
The father of my children just asked me if I would give him $5000.00 cash and wipe out all the owed child support,,,,,he said he would terminate his rights if I agree to that? I am getting married and my husband wants to adopt the children. Isnt this like illegal and is like selling your kids off??????
This father was facing 15 years in prison for stalking (got 18 months probation), was arrested 5 times for stalking, has issues, had 2 rounds of supervised visitations, is a pathetic father and this has been going on for 8 years. So he said if i would give him $5k, so he can start his life over and not file bankruptcy, he would agree to terminating his rights so the soon to be husband can legally adopt them. This should be illegal.

It is illegal. Report it to the police or sheriff's department.
