Yes. You should visit the family court and inquire about what must be filed with the court. There should be a form available. Each can sign the petition and once it is signed by a judge it will become permanent.

The court will notify the father of the hearing and he will have the opportunity to object and request custody. The court will make a decision that is in the best interest of the child.

That is a decision made by the court. A court can grant a partial or complete Termination of Parental Rights if the judge feels it is warranted for reasons other than said parent is relieved of his or her financial obligation to their minor child/children.
