Re: relinquishing parental rights/pa

Bottom line you can't. You would be asking the courts to make your child an orphan. Absent you being a totally unfit parent. For example Children and Youth proved you were a child abuser that isn't going to happen.

The only way the court will allow you to do that is if someone else wishes to adopt the child. In this case the father's new wife if he has one.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me. the initial consultation is free.
