Name of the Mother:
I, the parent (father/ex-husband) named above, voluntarily and knowingly consent to the termination of my parental rights and grant sole custodial and guardianship right of the child to my ex-wife named above.

1. the legal right to custody, guardianship or control of the child or youth
2. the legal right to obtain the child's or youth's birth certificate;
3. the legal right to any state or federal benefits I may have been receiving for the child or youth;
4. the responsibility to care for the child or youth or make any decisions on his or her behalf.
Signed (father/ex-husband)
This is to certify that the above document was signed in my presence after it was read by me to the subscriber in the language understood by him/her and that he/she further stated that he/she understood the contents of this consent and authorization.
