Can we take care of all the paperwork at once?What is the name of your state? WA My husband left when I was 3 mo pregnant, I am now moving to WA state and know I have to wait to file for our divorce. My ex has agreed (adimently) to sign over his parental rights to our new son. Should this be a separate petition - or part of the divorce process? If it is separate, would that make the child custody paperwork unnecessary? He has threatened that if I request child support (don't need) he would request alimony (don't care). If there is a problem with the process and the courts still insist on the minimum CS (until his rights are revoked) can I refuse that? Thanks for any help you can provide. |

| For starters, you need to find out if WA will permit voluntary termination of parental rights w/o a stepparent willing to adopt. Generally, courts do not like to leave a child w/o two parents liable for support, for a variety of reasons. This may well be something that you CANNOT do. A possible option wrt support is to come to a written agreement to refund the CS. Of course, unless it's ordered by a court, it's not binding on you. |
