Hi Sandy. My son`s father waived his parental rights. I told him that if he signed the paper, he would not have to pay child support. My lawyer did not think the courts would, but they did. I have allowed my son to talk to him for the past three or four years, even going so far as to visit him. Now that he is 15 years old, he texts her and the information he gives her is not correct and affects his mind. My son is too naïve and young to know this, and it is also difficult to accept that his father abandons him so that he does not have to pay child support. While the court can order one or both parents to financially support a child under normal circumstances, in a case of dismissal, the judge has discretion as to whether to order the parent who terminates his or her rights to continue to pay child support. This is a possibility, which is why it`s important that you have a lawyer who is familiar with the laws of the state of Texas to make sure this doesn`t happen. Ultimately, there are many reasons why a parent may terminate parental rights, but many people never move on. The elements involved in giving up custody and other parental rights are life-changing.

Deciding that someone else should take custody of your child doesn`t always mean you`re ending your parental rights.

You do not want custody or access of the child or children, and you and the other parent agree to end your parental rights. Just a quick question. My father ended his rights to me when I was 14. My mother was nowhere to be found, so my brother (12) and I were adopted by my grandparents. I am now 27 years old, married for 6 years, I have two children (1 & 4). Does my biological father have a reason to sue me for grandparents` rights over my children? I would prefer him not to be in his life. Any response would be appreciated. If you file a complaint against the other parent, you must ensure that this person personally receives copies of the legal documents you submit. This allows the parent to appear in court and defend themselves if they wish.

I am pregnant and the father of the child threatened to kill him? Is there a way to send them a voluntary parental termination form before the baby arrives? In this situation, a parent or the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) can ask the court to terminate the parental rights of the other parent. There are forms to fill out, affidavits and court hearings. This is a serious and complex legal issue. You may also want to know whether or not family allowances are orderly. Any parent who wishes to terminate their rights can do so. However, it`s usually not as easy as it sounds. Many people may believe that they have voluntarily terminated their rights by leaving their child with another adult and expressing their intention not to return. But the case is usually that the adult did not seek custody or rights over the child. My practice is dedicated exclusively to family law.

I can help you make a very difficult decision regarding the relationship with your child. In short, being a parent requires a lot of time, effort and financial resources. However, not all parents are ready to take on responsibility for a child. Others may be unable or unable to care for a child for a variety of reasons. I can no longer take care of my child, how can I make sure that his biological father takes care of him? He hasn`t been involved since the child was 4 years old, but he has (voluntarily) provided some support. Forfeiture of a parent`s rights means that the person`s rights as a parent are taken away. The person is no longer the child`s legal parent. This means, for example, that a person involved in substance abuse could temporarily give full custody to their ex-spouse while they are in treatment. After completing treatment and some time sober, they could apply for a change of custody and regain partial or full custody of their child.

During the period when they did not have custody, they still retained legal rights.

She became pregnant and the two decided that he would not be in the child`s life at that time. Our mother died and he struggled the moment he found out she was pregnant. He paid child support all the time. Fast forward 2-3 years, in which he settled, is married to his own family. And when she learns that he has made progress in her life, she asks more and more child support. He always mentioned seeing the child and having a relationship with her, but the mother always says it`s not in the best interest of the child. What can be done in this case or should we start? Our family doesn`t think it`s fair that they can continue to bully for more money, but don`t allow a relationship. She still lives at home with her parents and is on her third child with another man.

The three fathers are not in the photo. My brother is the only one who pays child support. Hi Sandy. My name is Jeffrey at the age of 27 and I cross a road full of pitfalls. I am the third child of 7 children. My mother gave up her rights when I was born. My family by his side took over and intervened. I moved from house to house with different family members and always had questions since they were on 6. I never knew my father, but his name is on my birth certificate. My mother has never been in my life and I find it hard to be abandoned. I asked my mother several times who my father was, and she told me about another man in different time frames.

I found my father and his family at the end of 2016 and they looked for me everywhere, but since I was in the system, it may have been difficult. I lost everything I owned because of depression and all the lies. My cousin, who raised me since I was 7 years old, went out of her way to take care of me. In May, I had found a letter from a previous psychiatric therapy/evaluation stating and informing that I needed further assessment due to emotional abuse and abandonment and I never received this help from the family.
