You need legal counsel for this one or it can get messy. Really think of what you are doing before making this decision because once you have signed over custody these are on the court docs and if you change your mind in the future (and you well could) this won't look good and you could lose a lot in the end.

One reason a court will allow a parent to voluntarily their rights to a child/children is in the case of adoption. Another is, if there has been intervention by the justice system and it is at that time, in the best interest of the child, as opposed to the court permanently terminating parental rights. In most cases a parent voluntarily reliquishing rights retains the option to have them reinstated at a later time as long as legal adoption has not been finalized. That is not generally true when the rights are terminated by the court. State laws determine the process of voluntary relinquishment. It is best handled by an attorney specializing in family law, however information can be obtained from the clerk or court administrator of the court of jurisdiction. Be advised that depending upon individual circumstances, the surrendering of parental rights does not always relieve the parent(s) of financial obligations.

I would suggest to abstain from sex because you are getting into very expensive territory with lawyers. I have no idea how many children you have, but you should be paying child support or at least taking courses on safe sex. Why am I being so flippant with you? Because these are your children too and right now, being young it doesn't seem to much matter to you, but as you get older you will have a lot of regrets and don't be too surprise if some or all of your children don't want to bother with you. You can't possibly afford to pay child support to all of these children and I have no idea if you can afford legal council. There are some lawyers that will give 1/2 hour to an hours free advice and that should answer a lot of your questions. If you find out that you can't afford the costs, then all I can suggest is you write up a contract to each mother, denouncing your rights to each child and have a notarary public sign the documents in front of a witness. Whether this is legal or not it will still carry some clout in a court of law if you should have a change of heart. Marcy

The legal system does not arbitrarily allow parents to relinquish parental rights unless there are state statutes that apply to the issue. One factor is that someone else has been found to be acceptable to adopt the child/children. Even though a parent is allowed to give up their rights to a child/children, the court will not release them from their financial obligations. Those obligations include court ordered child support and probably adequate medical coverage.

Assuming this person is the biological father, he would need to file a petition in the court of venue to voluntarily relinquish his paternal rights. If he meets the state TPR requirements and the judge finds the petition valid, his rights to the child/children will then be permanently terminated. He will then no longer be responsible for child support nor be allowed to participate in the child's/children's lives in any context.

A court can terminate parental rights but that would not necessarily terminate the parents responsibility to support the child.


Can the biological father relinquish parental rights to his child if the mother's new husband is willing to accept the responsibility?

The biological father would not need to adopt his own child. He would petition the court for full custody of the minor child and assuming the court deemed him fit for parenting he would become the sole custodian.


How do you find information on making a father relinquish his rights and when a father relinquishes his parental rights is he still obligated to pay court-ordered child support in the state of Iowa?

Relinquishing parental rights does not terminate one's child support obligation. But if you're the one petitioning this, the court is going to question why you would want to retain it while cutting off his access to the child?


Why would mother not put father on birth-certificate?

She ma not know who the father is. Over 30% of paternity tests come out negative. She may think it will prevent him from obtaining parental rights, which it does not.


Can the biological mother sign over parental rights to biological father?

Any time a parent releases custodial rights it must be done through the Family Court. If this other man is the child's step parent then Dad can voluntarily terminate his parental rights through the court and then step dad can adopt the child. But Dad can't just sign his rights over to any other man. Legal guardianship of children must be accomplished by court order.

Can an illegal immigrant mother receive child support if she leaves country and father gives up all rights?

If the father Legally gave up his parental rights - (signed legal papers), then he is no longer legally responsible to pay child support for the child. Did he give up parental rights so you could remove the child from the country? A family member of mine had to have her baby's father sign away his parental rights so he would not have to pay child support when he entered the military. So - once parental rights are signed away Legally, the father has NO obligation to pay child support. You cannot have it both ways - you cannot have him sign away his parental rights, yet still expect him to pay child support.


You were never married never been to court and have shared custody of your child. Can the mother of your child move to another state without your permission?

Yes. An unmarried mother has sole custody of her child until the father establishes his paternity legally and then petitions for custodial rights. Once the father has established his parental rights legally, the mother cannot move to another state without his consent and/or the court's permission since the move would mean the father's visitation rights would be affected.Yes.

What if father finds out he is not the biological father and the real father wants to take rights and I am with neither?

This varies from state to state. step 1 for the bio father would be to sue for paternity; if he does so, he will establish his parental rights and may be responsible for child support as well as have visitation rights, or even be able to sue for custody.
