Legal Question in Family Law in Missouri
My child's father informed me today that he's wanting to sign his paternal rights over. We were never married, and he's about 1500 behind in child support. He claims he might as well as relinquish rights because I will never bring her to his girlfriends house to let them see her. Mind you I've told him many times they could come see her here. I'm worried it will end up turning into a custody battle. Shes 3 and he's seen her less than 20 times in her life. I have never been comfortable letting her stay with them as she has 2 kids already sharing a room. Would he be able to get rights?

You should call me at 314-727-2822 for a free telephone consultation.
Because there is no custody order either parent may take the child and keep him away from the other parent. Someone needs to file a paternity petition to get a custody order to protect the child. He cannot voluntary terminate his parenteral rights unless you are married for six months and your husband wants to adopt the child. Call me if you want to petition for custody 636-271-5300.
