Can a father give up rights if he signed the birth certificate?

It matters if the father is named on the certificate as the father. If so, then he has as much rights as the mother. But in a court of law you might find the mother has a little more.
Only if the mother has a problem will the father get custody. The law see's the mother
as the one who the child should live with.

∙ 13y agoNo, and neither does a biological father, if they are not married to the mother. These are the stipulated provisions of the laws in the United States. Only through application to the courts for permission does is a man granted any such rights, even while under a child support order. see links
