Ask A Divorce Lawyer: How does my nephew get custody of his daughter currently in foster care?

Posted by pmcmahon in termination of parental rights , Rules , Procedures , Parenting , parental rights , Erica Christian , Cordell Cordell, PC , Ask A Lawyer

Question:

My nephew just found out through a DNA test that he is the father of a child who is now in foster care. The child is 10 months old and was put in foster care about 6 months ago. How does he go about getting custody of his daughter. Also, the mother of the child is a complete mess. Did she give up her parental rights when the daughter entered foster care? If not, how long does the mother of a child have to get her act together before the state will permanently terminate parental rights?

Ask a Divorce Lawyer: What do I do if my son refuses to follow the visitation order and visit me?

Posted by Matt Allen in Visitation , termination of parental rights , parenting time , Nancy Shannon , Cordell Cordell, PC , Ask A Lawyer , adoption

Question: I have two sons, and the oldest refuses to follow the visitation order and come and see me. My ex wife told him if I signed off my rights to him that her new husband could adopt him, which apparently my oldest son wants to happen. 

I don't want to sign off my rights to my son, but he refuses to see me. I will not be happy paying child support, medical, etc, for a child that refuses to have me in his life. 

What can I do to win fighting to see him or to sign off my rights?

Ask a Divorce Lawyer: Can I voluntarily terminate my parental rights?

Posted by Matt Allen in termination of parental rights , pregnancy , parental rights , Erica Christian , Cordell Cordell, PC , Ask A Lawyer , Affairs

Question: I cheated on my wife with a woman that I knew would be out to get me. Now this woman says that she is 3 months pregnant. 

I told her that she should get an abortion. She refuses because she said that she wants to make my life a living hell. I have asked her on several occasions to do this but she refuses to because she wants me to leave my wife. 

Is there anyway for me to voluntarily terminate my parental rights because I have been upfront and honest about not wanting her to have this baby, and I will not support her decisions or have a relationship with this child? 

She lied to me and has been very deceptive with her plans of trying to get pregnant.
