So, My ex was a total bully in our relationship, He spent all the money while I worked, He cheated, He played mind games, He was just not nice. I had been broken up with him for 4 months when I found out i was pregnant.
Since our daughter was born I have pushed him to be a dad, and Ive become fed up of getting the impression he's only a dad so people dont think bad of him or if he's a really good dad I will take him back.
Well today I asked him "do you even want to be a dad to our child" his reply was "no"
I told him our child is better off with no father then a father who pretends to be there, he agreed.
He said he will walk out our lives now and not come back, I dont believe him. He will get bored in a few months and come back to cause some drama and stress like he always does. (I cant just walk away, he has rights and wont take him long to find where I am) So to "prove" to me hes serious, He said he will hand over his parental responsibility in front of a judge.
I want to take this offer while he still means it.
How do we go about it? (I understand he needs to apply for the Discharge of a parental responsibility order or agreement)
What circumstances will a judge accept him handing over his parental responsibility?
Is there another way? Like a form where he hands his rights over or is it the Discharge of a parental responsibility route we take?
Father wants to hand his rights over
