Legal Question in Family Law in Washington

You have limited time and for limited reasons. You should probably see an attorney if there was fraud or duress practiced by the person, department, or agency requesting the consent, or if you lacked mental competency at the time your consent was given.

RCW 26.33.160(3) states:

(3) Except as provided in subsections (2)(b) and (4)(h) of this section and in this subsection, a consent to adoption may not be revoked after it has been approved by the court. Within one year after approval, a consent may be revoked for fraud or duress practiced by the person, department, or agency requesting the consent, or for lack of mental competency on the part of the person giving the consent at the time the consent was given. A written consent to adoption may not be revoked more than one year after it is approved by the court.
