What kind of rights do you mean? Sometimes parental rights are severed but the child may fare poorly in the adoption process and still long for contact with the natural parent. Lot's of these kids do reunite with parents whose rights have been severed. A child has a right to seek information and contact with the natural parent if they so desire. Some states have procedures. Arizona does.

AnswerYou cannot force someone to love you, or even to see you. If you were given up for adoption by a parent, you can seek out that person and make contact with them, but if that parent is unwilling to meet with you or pursue a relationship with you, you cannot legally force them to.

The point is YES the child has rights. She has the right at the legal age of the state she is in, usually 16-18, make contact with her birth parent. Depending on the trail the birth parent has left to follow (address, phone number, name changes etc) it may require a lot of work to track the parent down. A parent who does not want to be found will make an effort to conceal their whereabouts, get an unlisted number or asked for the record to be sealed.

No you do not. If you gave them up or lost them, you legally have no right concerning anything with them, legally. Look over the paperwork the courts gave you.

Make better choices next time.

I do not agree with the above post. It is my understanding that if you have visitation rights as agreed upon in Court Documents you have a right to the child. The Custodial Parent may not move and or interrupt your visitation rights.

Yes, she can surrender her parental rights to another person willing to assume responsibility for the children, or to the state. Often in the case of a child being abandoned, it is assumed that the parents have given up their parentla rights.

Yes, if the mother does not want the child and the father is willing to take the child. Then the mother may sign her rights over to the father if the father is able to take of the child.

Signing over one's rights will not terminate child support obligation(s).

The answer depends on the details. If the parents rights were terminated so the child could be adopted, no. If the parent(s) consented to a guardianship, a petition to terminate the guardianship could be filed in the same court. You should consult with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your options.

Yes if the other parent and court agrees. It does not mean you get out of child support though as some think.

Can you keep the father of your child from having visitation rights and still collect child support?

Child support and visitation are two separate issues. The custodial parent can file a suit for child support but cannot deny the non custodial parent custodial or vistation rights is said parent wants those rights. That being said, the non custodial parent can file for custody or visitation regardless of whether the child support issue is addressed or not. Such matters are decided by the court if the parents cannot find an equitable solution.

No. It depends on when the TPR became final. If the child resided with the parent or a parent for the entire tax year then they may still claim said child as a dependent.


Is it child abuse if a parent said his child could choose what ever he wants and the parent does not let him go to the school he wants to go to?

Can a biological parent adopt their own child?

The answer depends on the details. It depends on the reason for the guardianship. If the child was removed from the parent's custody and placed with a guardian the parent may or may not be able to regain custody. If the parent's parental rights were terminated they cannot get legal custody of the child back. If the parent consented to a temporary guardianship and the parent is now better able to care for the child the guardianship can be terminated and custody restored to the parent. It would not be necessary for the parent to adopt the child.


Can Child Protective Services in Amarillo Texas tell parent who to date?

Child Protective Services may recommend said parent who to date, and honestly, said parent mightwant to take this advise to heart, because said parent does not have as much experience in the knowledge of people as said Child Protective Service Officer has, but no, they may not tell said parent that they must date such a person.


Can a father sign over parental rights to an unborn child in Alabama?

That is a decision made by the court. A court can grant a partial or complete Termination of Parental Rights if the judge feels it is warranted for reasons other than said parent is relieved of his or her financial obligation to their minor child/children. Generally voluntary TPR's (those requested by a parent) are only granted when a child is being legally adopted.


Non custiodal parent whom has had no contact with his child in 10 months and is behind in support stop custidial parent from leaving state with said child?

Can the custodial parent relinquish all rights of the father if he has not seen the child for almost a year?

The only way parental rights can be terminated is by court order; the courts must intervene regarding any changes to custody, visitation, or support of the child(ren). That being said, the courts will not intervene unless one parent or the other requests it (file a motion), or unless another party does to protect the child. That being said, the courts are not likely to terminate parental rights unless a felony has been committed that somehow places the child in jeopardy.


If a parent having no rights except visitations allowed to make choices for the kid?

I would think not. Obviously if this said parent had limited visitation then they have been deemed an unfit parent and therefore have no right to decide how the child should or shouldn't be raised.


Can a female adopt her girlfriend's child after the father signs over his parental rights?

The ability to adopt a child as a gay or lesbian parent varies from state to state. Gays and lesbians have several options open to them when considering adoption. What you are wanting to do is know as second parent adoption. A second parent adoption is where an unmarried couple jointly adopts a child who is already the child of one of them. After the adoption, the child has two legal parents with equal rights. As you said the child's father has already signed over his parental rights, the first step in the process, and often most difficult has been completed.


In Utah can the courts take away a mans parental rights so the child can be adopted if the father does not want to give up his rights?

If the court finds that the parent has been abusive or neglectful in the care of a minor child it can terminate all rights of said parent and after the time required under state law has expired the child can be placed for adoption. If there is not an issue as described above a biological father cannot be forced to relinquish his rights to his child/children so they become eligible for adoption either by a new spouse or other involved party.


What happens in Texas if you sign over your parental rights?

If you sign over your parental rights, you do just that. You forfit any rights whatsoever you have to the child in question. You will have no legal relation to the child and no right to visit, make decisions for, or claim to be the parent of said child. You are also absolved from paying any future child support. This legal action is not reversible, and takes extreme court measure and consideration.
