how to give up paternal rights?

I think you will need to consult a lawyer on this issue. \n\nYou CAN sign away your rights but I am pretty sure it has to go to court and be done the proper way.

They can give up parental rights.

Maybe your local child protective services agency can help you. They deal with this sort of thing all the time and can tell you what you need to do. \n\nI would get notarized affadavits/statements from anyone who has information about this man. Also, you can demand a DNA test if there is some doubt about whether he is the father.\n\nGood luck. It sounds like you are the best hope for these children.

Tell your parents as soon as possible...do you want to keep the baby, give it up for adoption, terminate your pregnancy?\nThey will want to know who the father is.\nYou should have been spending more time learning to read and write...how did you get through grade school being illiterate?

Usually that happens with his consent.  See if he's willing to sign over his rights.  You also must be married for at least a year, and you're spouse must be willing to adopt the child.

He cannot "sign away his rights", because he has no rights in the situation; he only has a responsibility.  Specifically, he has a responsibility to support the child he fathered.  Whether he wants to have anything to do with the child is irrelevant.  Not to put to fine a point on it, but your fiance sounds like an a**hole.

Unless the father wants to, yes wants to, give up his legal rights you probably won't be able to.  Along with that you shouldn't.  In any case I don't know of any state that will take away a fathers legal rights because mom is getting remarried.

Wow that's a tough one, you have to decide whats in your son's beat interest. But maybe you should try talking to your initial sperm Donner(dad) and tell him how you feel and if he can't be a loving grandfather to your son as well then he doesn't need to be a grandparent to him at all, he all ready lost his daughter, what should be the harm in just removing your family from his life entirely. And ask him if he cares and if he has ever loved you or thought of you.\n\nBase your decision on his response\n\nGood luck and I wish you enough, enough happiness, enough love, enough life to live and cherish in your family as the driving force I can tell you are

you  can  always  make  a  request  to  the  court for  a ordered  paternity  test  and  fight  for  your  rights..\nI  think  it  is  great  you  want  to  be  in  your  child's  life...  I'm  rooting  for,  good  luck!!!

That's easy enough to figure out.\n\nGo to court and request a paternity ruling alongside a judgment for custody and child support.

Find a legal advisor. I think you should solve the metter legally. It is the best way, in my opinion, to protect your rights.

Well if your ex husband is in the childrens life..then it is not fair of you to ask him to give up his parental rights..but if he isn't the only thing you can do is ask a lawyer what is the best way to handle this. Good Luck

I live in Pa also and tried to do the same thing.I was not permitted to have my child's fathers rights terminated,and he hadn't seen my son for years and sent very sporadic child support.The reason I was given,according to my lawyer,was that in Pa,a child cannot be made a "bastard",terrible name,but that is what they legally call a child without a father.If I had been remarried and my new husband wanted to adopt my son,that would be a possibility,but they cannot make a child fatherless.Their reasoning I'm sure is that the child might then become the states responsibility if the mother alone couldn't support the child.This is the experience that I had dealing with the same issues.Good luck to you.

Try to harvest this side, you may be able to change an existing form.  (e.g child custody and visitation right).\n\nBut I would let a lawyer formulate this: especially in a life threatening situation (surgery) you need a lot more (and there is maybe also the sons mother involved).

1 Get yourself a adoption lawyer and tell him everything and take it from there. God bless you for looking out for the little man

Google "fathersrights"  there is a lot of free advice and links to help dads. See if there is a local chapter in MO where he can get legal advice and suggestions on line.Thousands of dads are fighting to be active in their kids lives, from jail and a lot of ex's goal is to keep them in there by filing OPs and having them arrested under false charges. Tell him to hang on and never give up!

in my state its as simple as contacting an attorney to draw up any legal paper work your X signs the forms stateing that he gives all rights to you , thats it once its final with the courts you can then make arrangements for the adoption process . my sister is in a similar situation , if you where fighting him it would be a completely different story ,he is willing to do this ,, is almost the same as haveing a noncontested devorse, if you both agree then theres nothing to fight over .. call you court house , some states offer a legal aid program ,  and if you qualify thier service could be free , hope it all works out for you
