What is the name of your state? Indiana
My husband's ex wants him to sign over legal guardianship to her new boyfriend. Is this the same as signing over his parental rights? If something were to happen to her does this mean he can get custody? She states it is for insurance purposes and so he can pick the children up from school. She has in the past tried to get him to sign over his rights so her then husband could adopt them and he refused. My problem he never gets to see his children, any contact he has with them has been under her terms and in the last 4 yrs she let them contact him once. She put a restraining order on him the first time he said he wouldn't sign off on his rights and we didn't even know until a yr later( at the time we were living in another state) We don't have money to get a lawyer my husband does owe back child support but he pays on it regularly now. I am at a lost of what to do. He wants to be a part of his childrens life but it just doesn't seem possible.
