Can my x-husband sign over his parental rights without my consent?
I believe this would depend on the laws made by your state. I know where I live the answer would be yes he can sign away his parental rights with out your consent. And sadly a lot of men do do this for the exact reason you post. It is so irresponsible. I feel it should not be legal to bring children in to this world and then make it legally possible for the children to be abandoned. I am empathetic to your situation. I feel that you may have the right to contest his request for termination of parental rights based on some of the things you mentioned (having been married). Please seek some answers from the family court in your area. They will be able to give you more accurate answers to your questions. As I mentioned before the laws surrounding your question are different from state to state.
