THE VERY SIMPLE answer is yes. BUT...there are a lot of buts. If a parent wishes to give up or "relinquish parental rights", the state agency that handles foster care, adoptions, temporary placements etc... has to take into consideration what is best for the child (children). Generally, they look for relatives; aunts, uncles, grandparents, to keep the children in familiar family surroundings. If no relative can be found, then they look for foster families or adoptive families that can keep the children together. If that fails, they look for familes that will take some but not all the children. It is a very touchy situation, because any good agency will try and keep the kids together. Then of course the families that wish to adopt or foster, have to meet certain criterion, such as how big is their house, how many kids do they already have, how stable is the environment, are they licenced, are they financially able, the list goes on. In certain instances where the children are known to the folks that want to adopt, or both families are known to the children, the families know the mother and live in close proximity for schools, friends, doctors, social workers, then the agency may look favorably on the families wishing to adopt. I work in this field, and believe me, nothing is for sure. I commend you for wanting to help the children, as it is a BIG sacrafice with no absolutes. Please post again with an update. THANKS! Yes, they can. Just make sure you keep the children associated with one another with meetings and contact. Call a adoption agency too. * Maybe. First of all both parents must relinquish there parental rights or have them terminated by the court before minor children can be eligible for adoption. If the mother was unmarried at the time and a father has not been named, she will be required to convince the court that she does not know who the father of the children are or supply the name of the man she believes to be the father. If the father cannot be identified or found, then the court may move forward with the relinquishment of rights and adoption proceedings. If the mother was married the biological father must agree to the adoption. Assuming that both parents agree to the relinquishment of rights as noted in a previous response, that does not necessarily mean the potential adopting parents would be granted adoption rights and most certainly does not guarantee that a judge would allow the children to be separated.

Can there be an upward modification of child support when non custodial parent loses visitation?

Visitation and child support are separate issues. One does not depend on the other. Parents must provide support for their children. There are many variations in visitation rights and those do not generally affect child support obligations.Visitation and child support are separate issues. One does not depend on the other.
