How do you get a father to sign off rights?
Legally he can't. The parent of a child cannot arbitrarily give up that child and be relieved of the obligation of financial support without following the legal procedure as prescribed by the laws of the state where the child resides.
What steps do you need to take to have the non custodial parent sign over parental rights?
It has to be done before, and approved by the court, but the primary must not now, nor in the future, be on Welfare.
How do you go about having the babys father sign over his parental rights?
IF Months go by, and you havn't heard anything from the father, they really seem more interested in YOU then your child, don't call or anything on birthdays or Holidays, and personally won't claim the child... its all a mind game,they can't afford child support, and we find ourselves kicking oursleves in the "bum" wondering "Why him as the sperm donor?" If he won't sign over rights, then make sure that he understands that you want NOTHING from him. NOT A DOLLAR. I even told my daughters father that we "just don't and ever did exist anymore." When they are really worried about their paychecks instead of their KIDS its easy.... they sign so fast. SO MAKE IT CLEAR..... when the papers are signed, you have the right to change their name (birth certificate),and they are to NEVER contact you in any way. Unless hes a real loser, it isn't an easy thing for men to do. They have alot of pride, and some do get attached to their children. (If the moms lucky)
Does listing the father on the birth certificate give him rights?
IF YOU CAN PROVE YOUR THE BIOLOGICAL FATHER YES YOU DO HAVE RIGHTS... SEE AND ATTORNEY AND GET A PATERNITY TEST..... * Maybe. The biological father can file a custody petition after he establishes parentage. The problem is, that a child born in a marriage when the husband takes responsibility by signing the birth certificate legally becomes that man's child. If the husband objected to DNA testing to establish parentage the court WOULD NOT allow a paternity test. If the biological father had knowledge of the pregnancy and did nothing to intervene when the child was born, in all likelihood the court will rule that he voluntarily relinquished his parental rights and now has no legal rights to the child in question.
How can you get your ex husband to sign over his parental rights?
In the US a biological parent cannot be forced to relinquish his or her rights to their children, it must be done voluntarily. The court can permanently terminate the rights of a parent in cases of child abuse and/or neglect and in very rare instances if the state in which the minor child/children reside has an applicable "abandonment" statute.
Can a child at the age of 14 ask that his non-custiodial father to allow him to be adopted by his stepfather-texas?
Yes, you can ask but not demand him to give up his parental rights.
Can you get your daughter's father to sign over rights in Texas?
You can ask him but not force him. If he is harmful to the child you can bring it to court and the court can take his parental rights away.
What if you want your husband to give up parental rights?
You can ask him but you can't force him to. In general, parental rights are terminated either preparatory to an adoption, or after a trial in which it is determined that the parent is unfit. In any case, termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.
Does child have to meet the father for the father to give up parental rights no contact since 6 months old now 9 years?
No. You should visit the family court and ask to speak with an advocate or consult with a private attorney. This is a complicated legal matter.
Where can you see if your child was adopted by a stepmother?
You would be notified if there is any court proceeding involving the adoption of your biological child unless your parental rights have already been terminated.

Can a mother object to fathers parental rights being terminated if she is on welfare?
Yes you can object. Generally a court will only terminate a parent's rights in order to allow a legal adoption to proceed or in cases of extreme abuse or neglect. A father cannot ask for his parental rights to be terminated simply to avoid paying child support.
Can father be prevented to meet minor child if sole custody is with mother who take diverse from that hushband and he is claiming to meet as biological father?
Yes so leave this to the courts.If they were married when the child was born he is automatically the father and you have to prove paternity by DNA to prove you are the biological father. Then you can ask for your parental rights and get visitation, pay child support etc. Get a lawyer.If you already is on the paper as the dad and have parental rights you need to ask for visitation. She can not refuse a court order. That is breaking the law and she can herself lose custody if she does.
Can a non biological father adopt a child he is raising?
It all depends on what is his status.For example-if the NBF was married to the mother before a child was born he is presumed to be the father and there is no need to adopt the child. In the other hand if there is a bio-father it is required to ask him to relinquish his rights.
How do you get parental rights removed in Florida?
Contact the family court for your county and ask them for details.
Can I adopt a child that someone else have custodian of now.The mother will give up her parental rights to me but not to the peoples that have custodian.?
Adoptions are possible when the mother will not give up custody when the mother will not give up parental rights to the foster parents but will give them up to a third party. However, you are asking the wrong person. You should be asking the social worker. Probably the state or government placed the children in that home. That is the person to ask.
How can a mother sign over her parental rights if she don't know who the father is?
Parents can not sign over their rights permanently. They can go to court and ask to have them terminated but they usually only allow that in case of adoption. In this case, if no father is not known and no other relative steps up, the child will go to foster care IF the court would allow her to terminate her rights.
Can you choose who you want to live with even though your father doesnt have parental rights?
No. If your dad does not have parental rights he is not even considered an option. Around the age of 14 the court can decide to ask you for who you wish to live with but then it is between your parents, not other people which is what your dad then counts as legally. And the court is not obliged to follow your wish. Legally it is not your choice until you are 18yo.
