Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina
parental termination
If my son did not sign the birth
certificate of his girlfriends baby does
he have to go to court and hire a
lawyer if they both agree to
terminate his parental rights so he is
not finanacially responsible? She
hired a lawyer and they have taken
him to court and he has to pay
100.00 a week right now.

Re: parental termination
Simply because your son and his girlfriend agree that his parental rights should be terminated, it does not guarantee that the Court will actually do so, particularly is his motivation is to avoid financial responsibility for the child.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
