Q: My now ex husband(which adopted our daughter as a step parent adoption)is wanting to sign over his rights to her.
Which I am in agreement with because it has been nothing but verbal and mental abuse since he adopted her,and is only getting worse !!! I know he can't sign over his rights without someone to take over his rights. My question is can my dad (her grandfather) take over his rights or can her biological father get his rights back (now that he has changed his whole life around and now in a position to be a dad. And where do I start the process? I am not sure if my dad could do it and me still keep my rights as her mom. Thank you KP
A: What about you taking the rights? There are facts to your case that we would need to review in order to provide a thorough response. You should consult with an attorney who can review the facts and help you plan the proper course of action. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558 HomerJordan.com
A: Courts are not generally in favor of undoing adoptions. You should speak with an attorney to discuss your options of moving forward to terminate his relationship with the child.
