Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana

Rel. Parental Rights

My exhusband and I both agree that in the best interest of our children, he give up his parental rights. He has put them in harms way and is abusive to them. There is a 'supervised visits' order in place, but it does not seem to work. What does the law say of both parents agreeing to terminate one parents' rights???

Louisiana law generally opposes total termination unless there is an alternative, such as a step-parent adoption. Why not simply agree to no visitation? Eventually, if you marry a person suitable as a adoptive parent, you can deal with the issue at that time.
