If the father's name is on the birth certificate, the mother must petition the court for full custody rights. If the petition is granted, it still will not relieve the father of his financial obligations. Even if the father's name is not on the birth certificate, it will not prevent him from taking action for cutodial rights in the future. If he has not shown an inclination to be involved in the child's life, or supported the child financially, the court would give little creedence to such a request.

∙ 12y agoAssuming you mean a biological father of a child born to an unwed mother. The rights a guy who fathers a child out of wedlock vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. For example, in some places the father has to be notified before the child can be put up for adoption; in other places the guy has no rights if he is not married to the mother. Even if he would normally have rights, a court may still deny or revoke rights to see the child because of an offense. If he is the biological father of the child and you as the mother are keeping the child from him he can actually fight you in court and potentially win custody of the child. Sadly it is rather common for a mother to move and take the child with her and the father has no recourse to force her to grant access to the child. You can go to court to get them to tell the mother to grant you access to the child, but the courts seldom enforce those rulings for unmarried fathers.

∙ 11y agoAs an unmarried father, you have no rights until your paternity has been established. That only makes sense. Mothers have a record of giving birth. Fathers who are not married to the mother must establish their legal rights as a parent. Your paternity must be established by a DNA test which you can request through the family court. Once your paternity has been established you are entitled to a regular visitation schedule with your child and the child will be entitled to your financial support. Visitation and child support orders can be established and you can petition for custody if you wish.
None even if two of the three are applied. Without marriage, a father has no assumed rights, but he is financially responsible. see link

∙ 11y agoWhen the child reaches 18 they can do what they want and you just have to tell them you are not interested. This is what can happen with adoption for instance. There is no law prohibiting the contact. At least so you can say no. If the child then proceeds to contact you after you have said no you need to alert the parents since they are responsible until the child is 18. If the child continues after 18 and you have said no you can get a restraining order. Communication is always the best though.

How do i get father to sign over rights to mothers husband?
He's not required to give up his parental rights unless the court has found him to be an unfit parent. You might point out to him that he most likely will not have to pay support for the child ever again.
If child's father has not ever seen child and child has mothers last name can mother change last name of child if they got married?
yes, through the courts
What are the fathers laws and rights to his children if he is on the birth certificate but was never married to the mother?
It depends if he was ever involved in the child's life. However, he does have rights. Of course this is state specific because the state is all powerful within it's boundaries. The state cannot violated the father's due process rights. If the parents has been out of the child's life for many years it is possible to terminate the parental rights and have someone else adopt the child. If this is just a case of a women who recently had a child the father will have a whole lot of rights. Need more specific facts to answer this question i have an eight month old daughter living in the UK. i will like to know if i will be able to get shear custody with the mother and how much time i can get?

Can a father sign over parental rights and be relieved of child support obligations if the mother opposes the action?
Yes. You can ask for anything. Assuming the real question here is, can a single mother cause a "termination" of the father's parental rights, though, the answer is more likely, "no." In every jurisdiction I've ever heard of, this would require a court hearing and a finding that such a termination would be in the child's best interests. The courts don't like to sever the relationships between parents and children because children need their parents, and parents have an obligation to provide for their children. Terminating the relationship means ending the obligation to support, too. Also parents have important constitutional rights to their relationships with their children. All in all, it takes something extreme and unusual for courts to terminate the relationship between parent and child. In England parents do not really have rights in relation to their children but the law relating to children states that a child has a right to a relationship with both parents (the question of whether one parent is unsuitable is something to be thrashed out in court on an individual basis). However, if the child has not yet been born you can seriously restrict the father's ability to have any control over the child or contact with them by placing "Father Unknown" in the relevant box on the birth certificate - doing this even when you know who the father is is not illegal. This effectively means he has no say at all over what happens to the child. If you put his name on the certificate you are legally obliged to consult him over every non-trivial matter of your child's life (education, religion, medical treatment, moving house and so on).

In Texas when the mother has custody of the child and the father remarries does the stepmother have legal parental consent over the child what so ever?
Not at all. She would have no legal right over the child unless rights had been granted to her by a judge.
If the father does not see the baby can he lose his rights?
To my knowledge visitation rights are only ever revoked by a court after going through legal proceedings , so in theory if he does not see the child and the mother moves to court it is possible.

In Illinois if a Father signed his parental rights over but now as the child is older he wants to see her again regularly. Does he have any rights at this point?
I think that the father does to a certain extent,nothing legal but at his house he makes all of the rules. because i know someone with this same issue, i think that if the child wants to see his or her father they should be allowed to when ever they want. And i think that when the child is with their father the father should make the rules for that house and even though he might not have any rights i say that it's his house so it should be his rules no matter if he has rights or not. And that if the child wants to do something, like go to town and hang out with some friends then they should be able to, the legal parents should not have to be contacted..the only reason why the legal parents should be contacted is if the child is asking for something that they normally don't ever get to do not even while with the legal parents. The father would still not have any legal rights but when the child goes to visit him it would be like going to a friends house and the legal parents say that whatever you do is up to the friends parents...its no different except that the legal parents might get scarred that the child might want to move out of their house and move back in with their dad.

In Penn if a father signs over his custodial rights can he ever reverse this?
No, as he no longer has standing in the court.
What does it mean to have your custodial rights terminated?
This means you are giving up ALL LEGAL RIGHTS to a child that you have conceived. Once the legal papers are signed, you not longer are the legal father or mother to that child. You will never have any legal rights to the childs, live what so ever. You can not go for visitation, custody, have any say in any health, school, etc...etc. It's like you have now given the child up for adoption kinda thing. However, this does NOT MEAN that child can't contact you or have a relationship with you if it so chooses once legal age of adulthood. It's still your child, it's only a piece of paper. I know this personally as my spouse has done this with a former marriage. Option to sign over all custodial rights in leu of having to pay support and second husband adopt the child. Excepted only because family moved 8 hours away and would have no contact with the child anyway. She has since contacted us once she became a legal adult! Doesn't change blood, only on paper!
