My boyfriends exgirlfriend had a child and had another man sign his rights away knowing he wasn't the father. My boyfriend had to get a lawyer to find out he was 99.9% the father. After that it went to court. He wanted to get his daughter back. After two court dates the adoptive parents stepped out saying they didn't see any light at the end of the tunnel. They went back to court to see who the baby should be placed with the mother or the father? The mother chose that he get temporary custody of the baby that day instead of fighting for her. He had custody of her for a month when the judge gave the baby back to the mother after hearing several testimonies on how bad of a mother she was with her first child. They told the judge my boyfriend was into drugs and always in trouble. Hes been on probation for two years and has never had a dirty drop and hasn't been in any trouble. My boyfriend would have gladdly taken a drug test that day. His ex lawyer even came and got in his face trying to get him to loose his temper and hit him, but he walked away. Then next court date the judge wanted to hold him in contempt even though it was the lawyer who did it. The judge didn't like him from the beginning he's only nineteen and the judge feels he's not mature enough to have the baby. Even though it is snowing right now and she's out peeling around town with the infant in the back seat. We are worried about her safety and her well being. Do we have the right to appeal? The mother had already signed her rights away. Why should she be able to step back in and get custody? Apparently she didn't want her or she wouldn't have put her up for adoption.
