I have had this happen with me also...All you do is sign over the rights..They don't need a reason why, but its good to give one...Remember, once you do this there is NO turning back...This child will know what you did one day. It does hurt the child in the future ( I know because it hurt my daughter when he signed over the rights to her)..It may be a good reason now, but may end up being the wrong answer....Good Luck to you..

I'm not a lawyer. Each situation is potentially different.It hasn't yet been proved that you are the actual father either.But, if you sign anything this might make matters worse as if admitting to paternity. Also such as signing a birth certificate etc. Until the baby is actually born you might be jumping the gun...again.I knew a girl who used to get money from different guys for an abortion too. Even if she claims she is giving the baby up for adoption this doesn't mean she'll actually do this either. Ask a professional who knows the state laws there. Remember; Children are never a mistake, it's the people you have them with.

Sorry buddy-but unless there is another man (your ex's husband) willing to adopt you won't be able to terminate your parental duties. Many have tried to TPR (terminate parental rights) for the sole purpose of avoiding child support and that is how the courts will look at it. If you choose not to see or have any contact with that child-you can do so, but you will still have a financial responsibility to that child for 18-19 years (depending on the state), unless as I've stated before, there is someone willing to legally adopt that child.

If you could look into the future, I guarentee you would never consider this an option. The mother may be despensible to you but not your child. A friend of mine is now a TV personality, I've known her from the days of reform schools and foster parents who abused her, didn't know who her parents were. She found them and all turned out well, only because she was a fighter. I seen her pretty black and blue too. Think man, and grow up yourself. Everyone's situation is different. You're allowing circumstance to rule your life you coward. Get a grip.

Why on earth might you be "inquisitive approximately him doing this"? baby help is payable by potential of regulation in the united kingdom, no 'signing over' of something will replace this EDIT Him being a crack head variations not something - he could nonetheless pay for the youngsters. It does not recommend they could spend time with him, visitation and upkeep are 2 separate subjects and you have an exceptionally sturdy case for not sending the youngsters to him till he types his existence out

Usually you need some kind of legal documentation stating that you have decided to alter all legal ties to the child. You should go and see a lawyer, or legal aid. What is never varies by where you live.

I think if you dont feel for the girl and do not plan staying together it might be best to sign over rights as long as your not held liable for child support.

To voluntarily sign off on your parental rights will not absolve your financial responsibility for the child.
If you are to do this, be certain that the contract includes a financial responsibility clause as well.

Go to a family law attorney. Each state has its own way of initiating a termination of parental rights.
Keep it in your pants next time unless and until you can step up and be a man.

I don't think you really need an explaination. As long as it is agreeable between you both then it should not be a problem.
