In general, one cannot give one's child to the State. The taxpayers are not interested in raising your child. When the State does take custody of a child, it pursues the parents for support.
It is very rare that a Mother wants to give full custody of a child to the Father. To this all a Mother would have to do is choose to sign and give up her rights to the child in court.
No. Custody by transfer to another individual is legal by court order only.
When, in the opinion of the court, granting the father custody would be in the best interests of the child.
Yes.
No, the child has to be born first.
Yes, the parents have to pay child support. They can give you temporary custody.
No, both parents have equal rights to the child. If the child is currently living with the father, then he has established temporary custody. A court will need to decide upon a formal custody and child support agreement.
It depends on the state and how old the child is.
Legally you can not force your child to give up the custody. They are the guardian of their child and not you, no matter how old they are.
To give up custody under Temporary orders, or Divorce Decree, the court will need to change the legal and residential custody of the minor. Child support is not affected unless the Court orders a change in child support.
If there is someone who has custody of a child and can no longer care for the child, they need to give the child to another family member. The local DHS office can help find family members to take care of the child.
