Father wanting to sign over his rights.... in Oklahoma?

My lawyer is telling me about a law in OK that once a father has been a parent of said child for two years, it's called established paternity. Me and the father are in agreement for him signing over his rights to our two girls (2yrs and 7mths) My lawyer is saying that he can't sign over his rights to our two year old and probably wont be allowed to sign over his rights to our 7mth old. We've been separated for 6 months now and until last week, have fought the entire time. Now he's being nice to me and wants to be friends and wants to sign over his rights to make it easier on the both of us and the girls.

Has anyone ever heard of a father not being able to sign over his rights or is my lawyer not wanting to allow me to do what I want?

    Your significant other, can't just sign over his parental rights without a court action. I would not REPEAT would not allow him to do so. because that lets him out of financial responsibility for his children!

    What you should be thinking about is what is best for your kids! not you or the father of your kids.

    What's best for your kids!
