You need to be able to prove the abuse, pictures, journals some kind of record of what is happening. Then you can go to the police and or CPS. However you should report any supected abuse to the police, weather or not they do something about it, it will still be on file with them which will help you out in court and show the court that you where concerned and tried to act on it, thus making it more likely that you will get full custody.
No. Not until the child is 18.
Parents usually have to pay for their child even if it is the state that has custody. The child is taken away and parental rights terminated in order to protect the child. If you want your parental rights back and custody you will have to turn to the court.
Consult a lawyer (attorney).
The courts may give custody/guardianship of the child to someone else without your relinquishing your parental rights. The court may terminate your parental rights upon a finding that you are an unfit parent.
No, it is your choice whether to sign your parental rights away unless they are taken away by a judge.
no
It would require a motion to the court.
If your parental rights are taken away from you, you lose all contact and say over what that child does. You will not have visitation with the child at all and you cannot make decisions about their school, medical, or religion.
No. If her parental rights have been revoked by the court she would not have custody of a minor child and therefore not eligible for funds to support that child. If child support were being paid before the mother's rights were terminated that support now belongs to the person(s) or agency having legalcustody of the child.
That depends on who took the dad's rights away. If the mother of the daughter has taken his rights, he can go to court. If the courts have taken his rights, he can reform himself then file an appeal.
Parental rights can only be taken away in Kentucky if it is proven that the parent is unfit. Child support will still need to be supplied until the kid reaches an age where he could be declared an adult.
No. If the biological father wants to assert parental rights he may file a petition with the court to order a paternity test taken. If presented with such an order the mother must comply or be held in contempt of court. A biological parent cannot be forced to relinquish parental rights it must be done voluntarily or said rights terminated by the court for reasons of abuse and/or neglect.
