Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

My ex-husband wants to sign his rights over to our 3 and 4 year old daughters. The courts ruled over a year ago that he was to have no contact with them. Anyways my question I think he wants to sign his rights over so his mom can try and get grandparental rights, is that possible? She lives like 6 hours away and the girls don't even really know her. Also I live in texas!

Just because a parent wants to terminate his parental rights does not mean that a judge will sign the paperwork. Also, if he terminates his parental rights it does not mean that his mom will get "grandparent" rights since technically she would no longer be a grandparent.

I recommend that you talk to an attorney in your county.

I would not file anything on his behalf. Make him file & pay the money. But, in the meantime, find the toughest and meanest family law attorney that you can. Look on this website and on www.avvo.com.
