[quote=Anonymous]Do you have someone in his family you can talk to about this?  If you have a good relationship with one of his parents or siblings, they might be able to intercede here and smooth things along. Especially if you can frame this as protecting DC while he is out of the country, and find a way for him to save face.  Reading between the lines, it sounds like he is not that interested in parenting, but does not want to feel bad about himself.  So, what is wrong with a document that says you have sole decision making authority in emergencies or if he is unavailable or out of the country, but does not cut him out completely? And making your mom is the guardian if you are incapacitated and he is unable to step in?  It sounds like he wouldn't step in anyway.

I don't see why you would project as to potential problems 5 years down the road.  If he gets married and wants to be more involved with DC, that's probably good for her, right?

And I don't see why you wouldn't first ask him to meet at your lawyer's office at xx time on xx day to sign the papers attached to the email for his review. Or tell him that you will have a notary at your house to witness his signature when he picks DD up.

I see your goal, and agree it's a good one. But this should be doable with a much softer touch. [/quote]
