What is the name of your state? LA
Is there a way to find out if someone relinguished parental rights without obtaining a lawyer?
A family friend was in prison, and before his release date, the mother of his daughter had sent paper wanting him to sign away his rights to their daughter so her husband could adopt her.
He refused, tore up the papers, mailed them back along with a letter, in that letter states that he would spend the rest of his life in prison before he signed over his rights.
Now the mother filed a report with that statement as if it were a threat. he didnt mean it that way, but they still took 180 days from him. On the day of his release they imposed this extra 180 days.
Now he says he didnt sign over his rights, but the mother of the child, has told everyone including my friends mother and sister, both of whom are allowed by the mother to see the child, that he did and that her current husband has custody.
I tried to do a little detective work on this and with all the privacy issues no one will tell me squat.
I have tried to find out what last name she is using. Becuase at Birth the family friend signed the BC and the child had his last name. So if the child was adopted she would have her stepfathers last name. Since it would be a legal record she would have to use the childs legal last name. I have called the school, and again privacy they cant tell me anything which for any other reason this is a wonderful law.
If we can find out that he was not tricked into signing papers, ( ones mixed in with other stuff) He is prepared to hire an attorney to reestablish some sort of visitation.
Now the reason we think that she was NOT adopted and this is just a ploy by the mother and her current husband, is shortly after he was released from prison, he received papers on child support, then the next week received papers that the child support case was dropped.
We think that while he was in prison, she was receiving some sort of state aid for the child. And upon his release had dropped the order for support, to coincide with her story that the child was adopted by her current husband.
So my question is, Will I or he have a way to attempt to find out what last name this child is using. For legal purposes that is.
Only thing i could think of was the school and that was a no go. I do not have any friends who have children that attend that school that would possiably know. Its an elementary school, and I even thought about attempting to purchase a yearbook, but again since i do not have a child attending, I cant get one.
