Re: waive parental rights

More | Report Post

If five AZ lawyers said you can do this, what more could you
possibly expect to get from lawyers on a chatboard?

But, since you asked, here's my $0.02: I disagree with all
5 lawyers. Parental rights are not "waived." They are
terminated and only with a court order and only after due
process to all parties involved and ***only**** where there
are statutory grounds for terminating parental rights and
only when doing so is in the best interests of the child.

If the courte wer to terminate your rights and the child's
mom should die unexpectedly, the child is left a legal
orphan. This, sir, the court will NOT -- repeat NOT -- do.

Now, if her stepfather wants to adopt your child, then
that's another story. However, I find nothing in your post
that the step-father wants to adopt.

p.s. Your real motives are showing.
