Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

parental rights

If my ex husband did sign his parental rights over and my (NEW) husband did adopt my son where would that leave my ex-in laws with visitations? Would his family still have any rights?

Re: parental rights

Apparently under Va. Code Sec. 20-124.1, these folks whose interest in your son is derived through the person (your former husband)whose parental rights have been terminated, would have no rights concerning visitation nor any other rights recognized under Virginia law with respect to this child.

Each state has different statutes, but generally the related parties (ex's family) lose their rights of visitation.
