Father signing over rights
I got pregnant before my husband and I got married. The child is his, but we are going to be legally separated. Can he sign over his parental rights to me before my child is born? We live in the state of Missouri and we are unable to get divorced before the child is born, but he doesn't want anything to do with the child and I want him to sign over his rights before he changes his mind. Also if he does sign over his rights to me, will he have to pay child support?

If you had checked the Family Law forum (where I moved this to) you would have found your answer as there are hundreds of threads all saying the same thing.
The likelihood is that he cannot sign over his rights period. A termination of parental rights is rarely granted. When it is, its almost always to clear the way for an adoption. On rarer occasions its because the parent is a danger to the child. In no case would a TPR be granted to allow the parent to get out of supporting the child. So, I would forget about even trying for one. When the child is born, file for full custody or do it as part of the divorce and ask for child support. |
