If I Sign A Document Stating My Mother In Law As My Daughters Care Provider Will I Lose My Rights As A Father?
Question: My Daughter is 1 1/2 yrs old and me and her mother share custody. we have not gone through the courts with this but have agreed to this decision. Her Mother Now Takes Care Of My Daughter Half Of the time And I do the other half. She Recently Asked Me to get together with her to sign a document with a notory stating her as the primary provider to my daughter. She says it so she can get her on her medical insurance. Should I sign those papers? and if i do what rights will i be losing to my daughter? Please Help I Am In dier Need!
Answers: its a trick dont do it. call a lawyer
As long as you do NOT sign anything terminating your parental rights, you are ok.
However, getting an attorney's advice might be wise...
Worked for the juvenile system...
I don't see what the problem is, it's just day care.
It depends on the document and what is stated in it. I personally wouldn't sign anything without having an attorney look over it. They shouldn't charge too much to do that. The money spent will be well worth the peace of mind.
If you sign a paper stating that she is the primary provider it sounds like that would be giving her custody...talk to a lawyer.
no
Be very careful, get legal advice
yes unless the mother allows you to have contact w/ her
NO JUST MAKE SURE YOU DATE IT AND HAVE IT NOTARIZED
don't sign anything until you talk to a lawyer.
Dude don't sign anything like that unless you have a lawyer or a paralegal help you out or look over the document first ... simple as that .. you don't want to ruin your relationship you have with your daughter now ... or later ... !
Your daughter should be on your medical insurance so if you can get her on it that would be better than signing a docment provided by your mother in law.
If relations between the two of you were to deteriorate and she were to sue for full custody having that signed document would not look good for you because it will show that she already provides for your daugher with your blessing.
The problem is that it's not legally binding.
No, because a maternal parent can always come back. even if they gave their child up for adoption!
I would consult a lawyer with a copy of the papers and see if that's the case. I don't think you give up rights to your daughter but it does shift the financial responsibility. Beware of the fine print though.
Call a lawyer in your area-- most of them have a free first consultation and will help you understand the sorted details.
Have a great day!!!
Sounds like she is trying to get you to sign a legal guardianship of your daughter to your Mother-In Law. This would give her legal custody of your daughter, and would change your custody status. To make sure your best interests are covered in this document, I would highly recommend you get the opinion of an attorney before signing ANYTHING.
th emedical coverage is understanding but i dunno if i would be so willing and able to sign my kid off everything to do with the kid is gonna have to go through her if she decides to up and move and not leave a forwarding adress she can do it and it will not be considered kidnapping just be careful
As long as you still have some kind of custody... I'd get a LAWYER they know lot's more.
DONT DO IT. She is tricking you the only way you can be on a person's medical insurance is if they are your daughter or son. If you sign those papers your pretty much saying she belongs to her. My best advice to you is show those papers to a lawyer before signing anything. My dad is a lawyer I know about these things.
you can go to the da or an arbitrator in your county the courts dont want you in their system either thats what arbitrators and the da child support center is for do not give up your rights or trust that woman farther than you can throw her, she is not looking out for your best interests she is looking out for her daughters and if she does not like you then it would be better if you werent involoved anyways ,she does not recognize the importance of your relationship with your child.
unless the papers state that you are signing over your rights as a father, then you shouldnt lose any rights to her. read the papers carefully, if you do not understand them either look it up online or go to ur lawyer or attourney and ask him/her to help... or y dont you just get ur daughter on your medical insurence? if you dont have any than try applying for medicaid
don't sign...before consult a lawyer...
As a care provider I would suggest that you go to a lawyer and have papers signed, IF you can't afford this right the letter yourself stating that she (mother) is watching your daughter until you can take custody of her. You can let her be the primary but make sure that any decisions she makes is agreed by both parties.(you and she) Make sure you word it in the agreement and Please, Please make sure you are active in the child's life because if she wants she can go to court and say you are not holding up your part of the bargain and seek full custody and then you have to go to court for visitation.
DON'T SIGN!! Get a lawyer and take it thru court. You could get screwed over more ways than I'd like count. Your time with your daughter can be reduced at the very least. For both your sake and your daughters sake, talk to a lawyer! Good luck to both you and your daughter.
Suggestion? Do not sign your name to Anything before you know what your signing! Get legal advice first! Maybe someone on here knows a web address to go to for help.She does need your permission to have your daughter treated while she's in her care.She can't do that without your permission unless she's a legal guardian and you said nothing has gone through the courts so by right you and your wife are the only two people right now that can say how she{your daughter} can be treated if she needs medical attention!
No you aren't relinquishing your parental rights...that is much more complicated than signing a paper in front of a notary. You are just basically giving her permission to be able to get them treated by a dr..etc....however, if you are concerned about it simply add a line to whatever you are signing saying that the father (you) is NOT in any way, shape, or form relinquishing his parental rights, this document if strictly for the childs care when not in their fathers custody..problem solved. That way if she IS trying to steal your parental rights through some back door way it won't work...if you request the addition of that line and she suddenly loses interest in having it signed then she was up to something. If its just about medical insurance most states offer several options for getting kids covered, check in to that too. Good luck.
It's a good idea as far as the health insurance is concern, but be very careful of what you sign-
the word primary provider means( first).
only problem is if they find out she is not the primary provider the insurance will not pay and call this fraud. this also includes the IRS if she is the primary provider then you will need proof of your child support-when income tax time comes around. get some free legal help.
You need a lawyer!
Our insurance wont let us put our grandaughter on our insurance unless we have legal custody. I wouldn't sign anything unless you talk to a lawyer first.
DON'T let yourself be tricked into an agreement that you will regret.
I'd strongly recommend having an attorney look over them and walk you through the process.
DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING!! In order to get my daughter onto my dads health plan I had to give him FULL LEGAL CUSTODY of her even though I was still on his insurance cause I was in school. Why does she need to be on your MIL's insurance? Have you tried to get her on Healthy Kids through your state Dept. of Health and Human Services? It's free and covers everything.
