Without a step-father the courts are not going to let your ex give up his rights. And what you proposed sounds like buying the father off. Doesn't matter either way the courts are not going to terminates his rights without someone else there to take the place so to speak.
Well then yes legally you should be able to just go get him and keep him. But since you have stated that you are no longer being selfish lets see what you think the best interest of this child are? Do you think ripping him away from the only stable family life he has known is unselfish? Do you...
lol I get your drift there. I also know that people try to make children sleeping in parents/grandparents bed seem disgusting. I had one lady yell at me at my kids b-day party because she over heard my 5 year old daughter tell her friend that because it was her birthday she got to sleep in...
Oh please how is 3 kids sleeping in the bed with grandma occasionally pushing the envelope. That is your own opinion. It depends how the family is raised. I think it takes a sick mind to think that anything is wrong with that innocent picture. I was raised in a close family we would occasionally...
Oops read the post wrong the first time. Yes the mother would have to be married to the person wanting to adopt. Depends on the state how long normally at least a year. Yes BF will have to sign away his rights for child to be adopted.
This girl is 12 right? So does she really need a babysitter while her mother sleeps? I don't see a court doing anything about it. You may not like how she raises her child but unless the child is in danger and you have proof you are out of luck. Remember even if you love her like your own she...
No one here answered you with anger as you said. You were given CORRECT legal advice and just didn't happen to like the answer you were given. My baby does not feel like an outcast because she has a different last name than her siblings. Do you know why? Because she is shown that every second of...
From what I know right now you have all the rights. If the fathers name is not listed on the BC ( is your ex husbands since you were married and by law he would automatically be considered the father?) and there has been no order from the court or DNA testing then legally the father has no...
Ok I know logically that it may appear that the child is best with his mother but kids at some point in their lives feel that they don't belong or that the other sibling is recieving all the attention. I have 4 children and one on the way and I know that my children have all felt that way at...
Why do people think the can just sign away their rights? If you could don't you think that people left and right would be doing it? Your child was there first why should that child have to suffer because you are remarried? Doesn't work that way. Thank God!
Without the father's consent I am sorry but I don't see it happening. I have 3 children from my first marriage and one from my marriage now and we are able to use the different names just fine. It's really not that tricky and quite common place in this day and time. The father IS involved in the...
It doesnt matter if the children have voiced that they don't want to go. They HAVE to go even if the dont want to. They dont have the right to decide. The courts are not going to let that excuse fly. When it comes time for court your ex can say that he stopped coming by because you kept denying...
If you keep denying court ordered visits you could lose custody of those children you love so much. Every hear of alienating the other parent? Courts don't take to kindly to that. I understand trust me how hard it is to send them when you feel it is not in there best interests. I have been there...
Well then from what little I know about grandparents right sometimes they are awarded visitation when the father passes away but due to the history you have said I would say that her chances are very slim. It is very hard for grandparents to get any kind of rights as it is. I would try not to...
I don't know what kind of relationship you have had with this woman in the past but why should she even have to take you to court? This is the child's familiy even if she's not yours. Why not surround your child with more people to love him. No harm in that. You could invite her over for dinner...
