What should you do if your ex husband wants you to give up your parental rights to him and his new wife?

Much more basic is the question of whether or not you want to terminate parental rights over your children, and whether or not your childrens' best interest would be served by doing this. There should be some compelling reason for a parent to be in a position where this is a realistic possibility. Typically, divorced parents can share custody and responsibility for children they had together, and it's important to ask why that might not be workable in your situation. Has there been some legal difficulty or some serious illness? Are you very far apart making it difficult or impossible for you to be part of their lives? Are they extremely young?
I can't imagine the anguish a person would go through having to make such a decision, but if it were clear to me that the children will be much better off growing up with two caregivers in the household, and other alternatives that include my ability to visit and co-parent are not realistic, then I would consider a TPR. But don't do anything before you seek legal help, and possibly help from local social services. Your ex and his wife certainly have no right to coerce or strong-arm you into any decision of this magnitude. Ultimately, the care and welfare of the children should be paramount for you and for your ex.

Do you need a lawyer to relinquish parental rights?
Does the parent want to relinquish parental rights or is it that the other parent wants FULL Custody, with no rights to the other parent? In CA check out Loudin v. Olpin Louden v. Olpin ["Louden"] (1981) 118 Cal.App.3d 565 , 173 Cal.Rptr. 447 on the Internet at http://login.findlaw.com/scripts/callaw?dest=ca/calapp3d/118/565.html You do have to register for free to view it. Bascially it says that the non-custodial parent can't be forced to visit the child. If a parent wants nothing to do with the child - whats to stop him from abandoning the child? He/she would still be responsible for child support. For more information visit http://www.steveshorr.com/MATTERS_CONSIDERED_IN_GRANTING_CUSTODY.htm
