The short answer to this question is no. Often times one or both parents terminate their parental rights before the child is born (this is often done in cases where the parents are planning to put the child up from adoption). However, the laws vary from state to state. Thus, you must research the laws in the state where the child will be born. An attorney can help you understand your parental rights, including terminating those rights.

When signing over parental right does that mean you don't pay child support in minnesota and born in the navy?
Your question is unintelligible (what does the Navy have to do with it?). However, in Minnesota, termination of parental rights does not terminate child support obligation unless the child is being adopted.

In general, parental rights are terminated either preparatory to an adoption, or after a trial in which it is determined that the parent is unfit. In any case, termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.

Can a father sign over parental rights to an unborn child in Alabama?
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. Generally voluntary TPR's (those requested by a parent) are only granted when a child is being legally adopted.

In the US, no. You have to wait until the child is born.
Can you sign your rights away on a child born to an illegal allien?
If your state (or country, if you live outside of the US) provides for voluntary termination in situations outside of adoption by a third party, the same way you would for any other person. Immigration status does not affect such things. You should be aware that, even if your state allows for such, termination of parental rights does not terminate your obligation to support your child. All it will accomplish is terminate your rights to see them and have any say-so in their lives.
Do fathers have rights if married after the child is born?
This is an area not addressed in the statutes. Single fathers have no assumed rights. How this may apply if there's a divorce later on has not been addressed at this time. To the best of my knowledge, mothers or attorneys have not attempted to claim the father still has no rights.

IMMEDIATE TEMPORARY CUSTODY of a child is granted to a custodial relative by a probate court when a child is given to a grandparent or other relative by the parents, and returning the child would result in the child's being removed from the court's jurisdiction or places the child in risk of serious injury. Immediate Temporary Custody lasts for 5 business days and then the court will hold a second hearing on temporary custody with notice to all parties.
