  1. Breaking off the relationship with the father is generally not a goal that can be achieved simply through procedures. The relationship between biological father and son is usually not directly severed based on blood ties and legal provisions.
  If a child establishes a parent-child relationship with their adoptive parents through a legal adoption process, the legal relationship between them and their biological father will be eliminated by the establishment of the adoption relationship.
  But this is not a direct "severance" of the relationship with the biological father, but rather the establishment of a new legal relationship. Therefore, strictly speaking, there is no direct procedure to 'sever the father son relationship'.

  Fanneng Law Firm reminds that it is almost impossible to sever the relationship between father and son under the conventional legal framework.
  The relationship between biological father and son, due to the bond of blood and legal provisions, has strong stability and irrevocability.
  If a child establishes a new parent-child relationship with their adoptive parents through a legal adoption process, the legal relationship between them and their biological father will be replaced, which can be seen as an indirect "severance".
  3. However, it should be noted that this does not mean that the blood relationship between father and son has been eliminated, but rather that the legal rights and obligations have changed.
  III
  The adoption process has a profound impact on the father son relationship.
  Once the adoption relationship is established, according to Article 1111 of the Civil Code, the rights and obligations between adoptive parents and adopted children shall be governed by the legal provisions on the relationship between parents and children.
  The rights and obligations between adopted children and their biological parents, as well as other close relatives, will be eliminated upon the establishment of the adoption relationship.
  3. Legally, the rights and obligations between foster children and biological fathers will no longer exist, and their legal relationship will be replaced by the legal relationship between foster parents and foster children.
  Therefore, the adoption procedure is the only legal way to achieve the legal "severance" of the father son relationship. Sichuan Faneng Law Firm is dedicated to serving you.
