Legal Question in Family Law in Kentucky
VoluntaryRelease of paternal rights
My fiance has a child from a previous relationship. Several times the mother has
said that she would like for ''Bob'' to give up his parental rights. If both parents are
in agreeance with ''Bob'' giving up his rights, will the state allow this to happen?
Can he give up his rights voluntarily if they both agree to it?

Re: VoluntaryRelease of paternal rights
The real question is whether you are interested in adopting the child. The reason I say this is that most judges will not do a voluntary termination of one parent for fear that the child will then have less financial and emotional support. If the termination is part of a voluntary adoption proceeding, the answer is probably yes, as this would assure the court that the child will have 2 parents.
