No it is not giving up his rights, but he does not want to do this, for several reasons, they cannot legally agree to anything outside of the orignal custody order, it would not be legal, if they agreed to this and filed it with the court then the judge could modifly the orignal order. Also if he agrees to give the mother custody he lose's alot more cause he then will not have any say in decition making of the child, in some states he loses his right to be able to stop the mother from relocating out of state, although they are not residing in the same state now. and I can guaratee the mother will not stipulate in any custody order allowing the father to have the child two weeks at a time, the mother knows that if the father consents to give her custody then he lose's alot of his rights. But like I stated if they do not file this with the court it is not legal and binding anyways, my advice tell him to go to court, if the mother says he needs to get his life together, what hse means is your life is not together and I want custody, making false promises to get the father to sign giving her custody is crazy. He has rights and tell him to tell her tht he would consider giving her custody though the court only with a stipulation that he can get the child every two weeks for two weeks and see what she says then.
