Atty Michelle Fitzgerald Q. Do I have to go to court if I don’t want to sign over my parental rights? A. You can sign a waiver form that would be part of a termination proceeding (filed by the other parent) and adoption (typically) if this would be a step-parent type adoption. If this is signed and notarized, you would not need to appear in court.
