Re: process of signing over parental rights
What you are describing is an intent to terminate the parental rights of the father as a prelude to your husband filing for a step parent adoption. In order to make this as easy as possible this would involve the father voluntarily reliquishing his parental rights. If he does not this would involve a Petition to Involuntarily terminate his parental rights more difficult and costly. You should consult with an attorney to get more particulars for your particular situation. If you would like to consult with my office you may contact me to set up a consultation.
