If a man signs a paper to sign over his rights but changes his mind before the Jugde approves it is there anyway he can take it back and stop the process?We live in the state of Florida but the Judge and case is in Georgia?

Under what conditions was he signing his rights over? A court will only accept such a declaration in very limited circumstances.

But the father can repudiate his action until the court has ruled. He just needs to make sure the judge is presented with that change of mind before a ruling is made.

He was signing over his rights so His ex's husband could adopt the child,but now their getting a divorce & the adoption isn't going to happen.Hes also found out that the child may be being abused.

If the mother and stepfather are in the process of a divorce, then the adoption will be put on hold. If he knows the court that is hearing the case, fax a letter of repudiation followed by a written copy by overnight courier.

His rights are signed over only at the point of the adoption, child support and his rights continue up to the point of adoption.

But yes, he can and should get an attorney and notify all parties , including the court that he no longer agrees do to the reason that the adoption is not going to happen.

Also if the child is being abused, is he going to attempt to get more custody also ?
