What is the process of a parent giving up their rights to a child?

He has to want to give his rights up and you both would have to sign papers agreeing to it. The only way they could make him give his rights up is if they are taken from him from a court but it has to be some pretty serious stuff that could put the child in danger and it can't be allegations but hard physical proof.

You need to consult with a lawyer on this one it's too complicated a process to explain on here. My daughter was adopted by her stepfather and her biological father had no problem signing off but that was a voluntary decision on his part.

If there is no other reason for him to sign off than your wish for him to go away then you have no legal grounds for your petition.

So what if he has other children. What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?! If your only goal is to wipe him out of your childs life for no other reason than you feel like it you are being a selfish mom who is denying her child the right to know her father. It is a RIGHT to know and be with both parents!

He has to want to do it, and there has to be someone willing to adopt to take over the role.

Also you can't stop him from seeing his kid, legally. If it goes through court he will get some visitation rights, which you will have to abide by.

Not if he doesn't want to.
