I am a legal assistant. I am looking for a sample Petition to Terminate Father's Parental Rights. I am in Orange County, CA. I have one case where the Biological Mom wants to terminate the father's parental rights and he will agree. However, no adoption has yet been started. She wants to move out of state to be with and raise the child with her family. I have another case where the dad had a default judgment entered against him for paternity, then they found out who the bio dad is and a stipulated judgment was then entered naming the bio dad too. So, now the child has 2 dads. The first guy has no relationship with the child; however, the D.A. won't let him off the hook - even though they have found the correct father. So, the first guy with no relationship would like to terminate his parental rights. Any samples that you may have to provide me will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.
