You have read this (https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/family-law/signing-over-rights-read-first-116098.html) thread, right?

We can double check, but I don't believe Georgia has a different policy than that expressed in the linked thread.

This is not a search engine. It is not a computer program which searches for anything containing a series of words. Instead, it is a bunch of live volunteers who attempt to read your questions and answer them. Thus simply writing a series of words with the expectation that a link to the web site you want will pop up is no how to do it. If you want to do it that way, try Google.

I have briefly looked online, and there are a few domestic-relations (family law) forms on the websites for the courts in that state, but as I suspected, can find no such relinquishment form online.

If an adoption is what is desired, it may be that you will have to create a form from scratch, using the pertinent statutory requirements as guidelines. That, of course, is what attorneys get paid to do.

In Ga the other parent will need to be remarried and have a new partner that wants to adopt, then you can give up your rights to the child to allow an adoption.

You may allow the other parent to file for and get full legal and physcial custody and then you have no obligation to ever see or have any contact with the child. ( merely pay child support as ordered by the state)

The basic answer is NONE. Since the only way the mother would be allowed to relinquish their rights is as part of a step-parent adoption. In that case, the attorney preparing the adoption will prepare the necessary forms.
