Can an attorney draft a document for a father to sign over his rights or must you go to court?

If the father has parental rights now, the only way he will lose them is by a Court order saying so. A private contract between the parties only that is not signed by a judge and made part of a Court's "order" is not likely to be enforced. In other words, your deal might be OK for as long as the father agrees and has no interests in exercising parental rights, but what if he changes his mind and wants to back off the promises he made and ignore the paper he signed?
However, if the parent is agreeable the attorney can have the necessary documents signed and then she/he can bring it before the court.
