Re: Signing Away Rights
The only way that his parental rights can be terminated is by a Judge ordering that it be done. They typically will not terminate a parent's rights unless someone else is adopting the child.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
