No you cant sign over parental rights because its not known if you are the parent. Just because this child will be calling the other guy daddy doesnt mean you should sign over rights. I would wait till the baby is born, have a DNA test, then make your decision. Just know that once you sign over your rights its nearly impossible to get them back. Good Luck Hun.

Since you're not her husband (in which case they would assume that you were the father, for birth certificate purposes), the only other ways for you to be listed on the birth certificate as the father are a notarized paternity affidavit or a DNA test. If neither of those happens then you can't sign over your rights, because you have none. That being said, if you don't want to be sued somewhere down the road after she tires of the new guy and he's not paying support so maybe she can get support out of you (WHEW, long sentence), then you should ask for the DNA test to establish you are the biological father, then sign over your rights, at which point the new guy will legally adopt the child and she can't ever come after you again no matter what, nor could you ever go after visitation or custody.

Wait until the child is born. Get a DNA test. If this is your child, do you really want to miss out on all the great things being a parent to add to your life? Do you want to deprive your child of a father because you are no longer with the mother? She wants you to sign so she has more power, dont let her do that. Do not sign your child over that means you are not allowed ANY contact with this child for the next 18 years and by then the child probably will hate you for not being there. Do the right thing and think of the precious baby.

i think it depends on the state. It is my understanding that in NY, you, nor the other guy can sign over parental rights unless there is another man willing to adopt the baby. A paternity test should be done to see who the father is. Both parents should be emotionally and finacially responsible for the baby. Good Luck

i would have a parinty test first after the baby is born i wouldnt sign anything yet but i would be looking for a attorny just case the baby is yours than you can have share custody and parantial rights .just understand that its not the babys fault its the woman who chose to cheat on someone who still loved her and would stay by her side through it all ,but know this the man she is with now could possibly cheat on her or she might cheat on him what goes around comes back around

Well you have to have a blood test first.
Then she can sign over rights to you if it is yours. If it is his then he has to sign them over too.
You can't sign them over before the child is born unless you were adopting it. And then the mom still has the right to change her mind.

Have a DNA test done to see if its yours first. If its not yours then you have no claim over it...why would youdupport her and the child if she is with the actual father??

You need to determine who the biological Father is. Don't sign your parental rights away until you know for sure.
