There is a sticky at the top of the Family Law forum regarding termination of parental rights; you can read it here (https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/family-law/signing-over-rights-read-first-116098.html).

As noted, you cannot simply have him sign off his rights - especially if there is not another party willing to adopt the child.

While I agree that you SHOULD file in court to establish paternity and child support, "threatening" him with court isn't going to do anything in regards to his rights. Only a court can terminate parental rights; he can't just sign a sheet of paper and say it counts.

This is a law board and our answers here must be accurate according to the law. A DNA test does nothing other than establish paternity and in fact, might grant the father some rights, rather than strip him of them. Please use more discretion when posting in this forum.
