A biological parent cannot be kept from seeing their child except by an order from the court. If the custodial parent is refusing visitation the parent has the option of filing a petition with the court to be allowed visitation and/or custodial rights. That being said, any parent can file a voluntary termination of parental rights in the appropriate state court in their county of residence. A judge will decide if the petition will be granted and if so to what extent,

∙ 14y agoUnless an adoptive mother is waiting to step into the shoes of the biological mother, it is nearly impossible for a parent to voluntarily relinquish rights. The state where you live usually has a public policy that promotes the situation where a minor child has two parents responsible for their care and well being. (Even if the parents no longer live together) There may other options if the child is near 17 years old. Then you can explore the appropriateness of emancipation of a minor.

∙ 13y agoRE: Termination of parental rights typically occurs after a finding that the parent is unfit, or in preparation for an adoption. In any case, termination of rights does not terminate child support. -
You can terminate your rights to a child voluntarily anytime by filing the proper forms with the court. However, to terminate child support the child must be adopted by someone else once you're rights are terminated.

∙ 13y agoI read your question as asking how to give up parental rights to an adopted child and not how to adopt a child. You haven't added enough detail about your situation for anything but a general answer. It would be important to know if there is a parent who is willing and able to take full responsibility for the child and if the reason for the termination of your parental rights is for the purposes of adoption by another adult. Courts are concerned with the best interest of the child.
Courts are always reluctant to allow the voluntary termination of parental rights unless the reason is to facilitate an adoption. They generally recognize that a child is entitled to the support of both parents. An adoptive parent is the legal parent and has all the responsibilities to provide for the child that a biological parent would have. The possibility of obtaining approval from a court is further reduced if the custodial parent is receiving any kind of assistance. Many courts do not allow it at all unless the child will be adopted by another responsible adult or the remaining parent has the resources necessary to fulfill the needs of the child.
You need to consult with an attorney who specializes in family law who can review your situation and explain your options.

∙ 18y agoYou can adopt your child out before it is born. However, I suggest you don't do this and wait until that child is born. If you have family support or even friends that will be there for you then please take the chance of raising your child if you can. Now, you only feel this is a big problem, but once you give birth there is something inside most new mothers that takes over and it's called "bonding." Don't do something you'll regret later. If you have seriously thought about this and realize you have little to no support raising this child or don't have the money, then you can talk to your doctor and give up your baby for adoption. Once the baby is born the adoption agency will come in (and hopefully as far they are concerned) not let you see that baby after birth. However, you DO HAVE THE RIGHT to see your baby! It's a difficult separation at best. Once the baby is adopted you no longer have legal rights and may well never see that child again unless at their legal age they can come looking for you. Each State is different in this law.

Would you get child support if you took custody of your neighbor's 15-year-old daughter?
The adult with whom the minor resides must petition the court for guardianship of the child. A parent cannot legally "give" their child to a neighbor nor the neighbor legally take the child, an exception might be due an emergency or for a matter of a few days with the parent's consent. The person seeking guardianship can also request child support, medical coverage and so forth. It will be up to the judge to decide if guardianship should be granted, if the child must remain in the home, or if the child is to be remanded into state custody.

Can a parent give up rights to a child to a non relative in Ohio?
Rights or custody? A parent can always petition the court for termination of their parental rights and such a petition may or may not be granted depending on the circumstances. However such a termination does not end child support obligations. You may also petition the court to transfer custody or assign guardianship of a child to another individual. Whether or not this would be granted is up to the court hearing the case, whether or not there are any biological relatives willing to assume custody/guardianship and whether or not the person you choose would act in the best interests of the child (in the court's opinion).
If both parents of a minor child are unstable can a family member who lives out of state request for guardianship of the minor child?

If both parents sign over temporary custody to a grandparent can the parent who has physical custody terminate the guardianship and take the child back?
It depends on the State the parent and child reside in, the State the temporary legal guardianship was signed in, and weather or not a judge was involved. Usually a temporary guardianship is revocable by either of the natural parents, either by having a revocation notarized or by simply writing on their copy of the temporary guardianship form that such guardianship is being revoked with a signature and date of revocation. This is then presented to the temporary guardian and the child is turned straight over to the natural parent who now wishes guardianship returned to them. The temporary guardian can fight the issue and get the courts involved, but the vast majority of time things go the parents way in these regards. Again, it all goes back to circumstance and especially the State where this is all taking place. I would suggest googling "temporary guardianship rights", or see if you can look up the specific legal codes on guardianship in your state.
