Please do a search for TPR you will find MANY threads on this very heated issue.

Untrue. He can get a waiver... many, many people have.

The Air Force wouldn't allow my ex husband to enlist when they found out I was pregnant with our second child, so it may not be so far fetched.

Well, in the Marine Corps it is required to get a waiver if the enlistee has even one dependent and generally speaking the military does not allow people to enlist with more than two dependents. That is not to say people don't get waivers for having more than two dependents.
My father in law was in the Corps and enlisted with THREE dependents, his wife and two children.
VANCAM1: Tell your husband to tell the recruiter to request a waiver. There's no guarantee it will get approved, but it's worth a try, right?

**A: that's one of the most idiotic reasons I have ever heard of. Fight for your country and dis-own your own child.

I agree... I've never heard anything so stupid

And to think that the writer is going along with that.

 

[tigger22472]

But of course... it's not her kids that he's trying to terminate rights to

I have been in the Air Force for 20 + years and have never heard of such a thing. I even did a tour as a recruiter. You would think they would have said something. My first responce would be for the recruiter to show me the regulation in writing before I did anyting as stupid as terminate my rights to my children.
If he can't show me the reg., then go up the chain of command and find someone who knows what he is talking about. More dependants( and I HATE when they refer to my family as dependants) means more work for the recruiter. IMO that's where the problem is.

Typical stepmother wanting to get rid of a kid that is not hers. The bio father does not need to terminate parental rights. That is a load of BS.
If there were only a 2 dependant rule of the Marine Corps, then the bio father should get a divorce so that the 2 dependants would be the 2 children.
I like that idea better.

I too am a step mother but posts like this sicken me. I find it odd the OP hasn't responded. Sounds as if her "idea" has fallen through. I have a bet going on with happynow as to the response the poster comes back with that I'm sure everyone else that's been here a while can guess is but I won't post as to see just how right we will be. I like your idea also HG. IF this is the story... I can't imagine a parent being told that he/she could only have X amount of dependants and not FIGHT to have more. His VERY FIRST question should of been about this.. HOWEVER, I think I'm to the point to say.. yeah go ahead TPR... but don't have someone ready to adopt. That means he would have NO RIGHTS but still have to pay the cs... THAT sounds more like the best interests of the child if this is the environment that could influence the child.

You were misinformed.
