Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

Re: Surrendering Parental Rights

So, you claim that your "ex husband is ready to sign over your son". Sign over for what and/or to whom? If you're thinking that your former spouse can legally divest himself of his parental rights and responsibilities by signing a piece of paper which ostensibly makes such a claim, and, then perhaps, having it notarized, I can tell you that such an exercise would have no legal significance whatsoever.

Only a court of law can legally terminate a parent's rights with respect to his or her child, and it will not happen by the parent acting on his or her own in signing

a piece of paper which claims to terminate the parent's rights/responsibilities with respect to a particular child.
