Once giving up parental rights can they be reinstated in Texas?

If the child has been adopted you have no rights to this child any more you should speak with a lawyer from the state were the child lives. * No. When a parent(s) are granted a voluntary termination of parental rights or such rights are terminated by the court for reasons of abuse or neglect it is permanent and cannot be revoked or rescinded. This does not mean that the relinquishing parent cannot have contact with the child once said child reaches the legal age of majority (18) if the child is agreeable to a reconciliation.

What happens in the state of California if a father signs over his rights?

Terminating parental rights does not mean you are no longer obligated to support the child so you still have to pay child support. Unless the child is adopted. You will have no rights to the child at all if you have your rights terminated and the court will not give them back so be sure what you are doing.

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.

How old do you have to be so you can make a parent illegal in united states?

I think you mean "....making a parent give up their parental rights". You can't make anyone illegal. You can also not force a parent to give up their parental rights, Only a court can force them by taking their rights away. If the child is mistreated the child or anyone can report the parents to the Child Protective Agency.


If a mom signs over her rights due to defiant behaviors from the minor child is she obligated to pay child ssupport?

by "signing over rights" I persume you mean, terminating her parental rights and no, she is not obligated to pay child support, however, any accumulated back child support, or "arrears" is required to be paid, unless agreed otherwise. For this you would have had a prior order to pay support prior to the terminating of the mother's rights. When your rights to a child is terminated it is as if the child was never yours and your rights to the child, and obligation for the child are forever terminated.

In Alabama can fathers sign over parental rights without an attorney?

The father would petition the court in charge of family issues in the appropriate jurisdiction (the county where the child legally resides) with the appropriate form backed by documentation and evidence why their rights should be terminated. There will be a court hearing and at that time, the judge will decide whether or not termination of parental rights is in the best interests of the child. It is important to note that in many cases, waiving parental rights does NOT mean you are not obliged to pay child support. Those are two different things and generally, a parent is obligated to pay unless the child is placed for adoption or the ex marries someone who adopts the child.


Can you get out of paying child support in Alaska?

Yes, as Alaska is part of the United States. And signing over your parental rights doesn't get you out of paying child support in the great USA. I suggest consulting an Alaskan lawyer for a free consultation.
