Re: Child Custody
Is there an existing lawsuit in Chancery Court where you are plaintiff and your ex-wife is defendant? If so, then you can file an agreed order terminating her parental rights and vesting full custody in you. I assume your ex-wife does not wish to retain parental rights. If there is not lawsuit, then you can informally sign an agreement in which she relinques custody rights to you -- and get her to notarize her copy so that there will be no allegation that the document was forged. That agreement will not carry the full weight of a court order giving you full custody, but there will be no one to challenge your right of custody except the biological mother -- so the out of court agreement should serve your purpose.
