No. You cannot simply "sign over" custodial rights to minor children. State laws in which the minor children reside determine the legal method in which such action can be taken.
However, even when done properly it will not negate any investigation nor possible action by a DFCS agency. Such investigations must be completed and addressed by the court before the court will accept any petition for a voluntary change of custodial rights.
