Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Giving up rights

My fiance had a one night stand and the girl got pregnant. She says he is the father.He was in prison when she had the baby but she hasn't botherd him about the baby. She is living with someone else right now can he sign over his right to her. she said that if he denied to her that the baby wasn't his she would never bother him again. He did deny the baby, so if he can do that what steps does he need to take. thank you so much for your help.

Re: Giving up rights

I assume the mother and the child live in Texas.

If they don't, then ignore this answer since the state they live in would control.

Family Law issues are different from state to state.

Basically, he cannot give up his rights unless there is another man willing to step into his shoes and become the father of this child.

Courts are hesitant in Texas to bastarize a child.

I hope this information is helpful.
