Declination of Parental Rights

ryleesmom13 · #1 Oct 19, 2009, 06:55 AM

I want my childs father to sign the Declination of Parental rights paperwork. He has not been in the picture for almost 3 years now. And I just found out that he has an insurance policy on her. What can I do?

Does he pay child support? If not, why not?

You mean if she dies, he gets some money?

Or do you mean she's the beneficiary if he dies?

If the first, that's very strange.

If the second, it sounds like he has some hope of seeing her. Have you interfered in any way with his ability to see her? Even just being unfriendly when he used to come? What happened three years ago to make him stop coming?

We need more details.

You should consult a lawyer about the parental rights. Right now, he's still her father.

I can't say as though he is a danger to her but he has never seen her. We went through a lawyer but got no where. And I prefer to keep it the way its been. I have supported my child 200%. I just don't get why now he just decides to want to take out insurance on her. It makes me curious.

Yes child support has been put into effect but I offered him the option out way before any of this ever came about.

We have went through a lawyer and got no where. I paid out over $2000 just to seek legal advise and help and I am in the position I am in now. It is very strange and it really makes me curious now to why he is doing this.

We have not been to court or anything. I paid a lawyer for advice but it hasn't gotten my daughter or me anywhere. Except in the position we are in now. I went through DSS to try and get some answers but they don't want to work with me either. And my concern is my child and her well-being.

This has completely thrown me in a loop now and I am forced to pay medical expenses out of pocket. It just doesn't seem right. There is something out there that I am not catching and I can't get any answers because my name isn't on her BCBS policy so I have no idea of what it covers and what it doesn't.

So you are saying he has taken out life insurance on HER? That is, if something happens to your daughter, the father is paid?? it would help if you could clarify this. That's creepy.

On the other hand if she is the beneficiary of a policy he has taken out on himself, then that's a nice thing.

Which is it?

It isn't life insurance. It is medical insurance which is something I already have covered. But now they are trying to use this new insurance instead of her primary insurance through me. It is creepy and I hate to think there are people in this world like that but I am stuck on what to do.

I have no idea about tribal law. All that I know is that I went through a Divorce/Family Law attorney back in 2006 and it got me now where. This is my first and hopefully last LEGAL issue. Im a newbie at this. And like I said above, I am stuck on what to do. I have debated whether to go through another attorney or go through DSS to find out what options I have.
