    How to give all rights to my adopted daughter back to her mom?
    My adopted Father and I do not get along and I do not live with him anyway but yesterday he decides to come to my school and get me out early and I had not talked to him in 2 months. When I see him I am automatecally repulsed. He yells at me to get in the truck and we leave{given that no one in my faily even knows he has me and I couldn't call and tell no on being as he would not let me. When we are in the truck he proceeds to yell at me over stupid suff and when we get to where we are going he hits me. Now he wants to give up his rights to me and I have no objections. How should I go about getting this done being as I a only 16

    Whether he gives up his rights isn't up to you. Did you tell anyone he hit you? If not, you need to tell someone. An adult, like a teacher or school counselor would be best. And if he comes to get you out of school again you need to tell the staff more about your situation and not leave with him.

    If you haven't seen him for two months and don't live with him who have you been living with? Who has been caring for you?

    It's ultimately up to the courts to decide what's in your best interest. Without knowing more about your situation or what state you are in (as laws do vary from place to place) it's impossible to give you any advice other than talking to a teacher or counselor.

    A parent cannot just give up their rights. Only a court can terminate parental rights and they rarely do so. An adoption is generally final, once the court approves it he is your legal parent. Also you can't do anything about it. If he wants to void the adoption HE has to go to court to do so.

    I'm suspecting here, that he and your mother are now divorced and he is being required to pay support. So he's trying to get out of paying that support.

    So the first thing you do is tell whoever you live with (I assume your mother), about this incident. Depending on the marital status mom can get a temporary restraining order against him and then tell the school they are not to allow him to get you. Even if mom or your guardian can't do this. You do not have to go with him if he tries to pick you up again. Just tell the school that you do no want to leave early.

    To help further we need to know more of the background. How he came to adopt you, who do you live with, what is the current marital situation etc.
