You can discuss the matter with a lawyer. But, even if you're allowed to abdicate paternal rights, you're on the hook for child support until Junior becomes 18, unless your former spouse can get her husband (assu ing she has me), to adopt the boy.

Don't get excited or too interested, that rarely happens, is expensive, and consumes time. Good luck.

My advice, accept the fact he's a brainwashed kid. Just keep doing your best, and he could change as he enters manhood.

I believe in Tx. if both parents agree & if the remaining parent can prove he/she will not need state aid for the child, Tx. will allow the other parent to terminate rights/obligations. There will be one legal parent.

Hold for responder, Proserpina, to come along & verify - she's an expert at this. (family law)

Yeap, you have it correct Betty


Texas is one of only two states which will allow a voluntary TPR outside of a stepparent adoption.
