Yes, if he has visitation rights or shared custody, she will need his consent.
a child / children and a mother or a father
A single father, what does that mean? Are you divorced, ever married to the mother of your child, or is the child adopted by you, or is the mother dead or out of the picture? If your question is "How does a Father obtain residential custody after a divorce or in a paternity case", then I can answer this question. Let me know what your grounds for custody are. What is it about the mother or other parent that makes it harmful for the child to remain in their care?
No the father has no paternal rights until the baby is born.
There is no prositute..so there can not be any single mother..it is USA system single mother
If the father terminates his parental rights the single mother can legally and solely have full custody of that child as long as the courts decide that she is capable of working and providing a safe environment for the child. There are times that the parents of the young mother, or possibly grandparents will help in looking after the child if the mother is a minor and finishing her education and the courts will often look favorably on this.
Married father, the same as the mother. A single father has no rights, regardless of age of the child, until granted them by a court. see link
depending on your state the single mother has all the rights to the child. In South Carolina that is how the law goes. Although you were engaged you were not married so you have all the rights to the child. Which means you could sue him for child support if you wanted to.
Just go to the Child Support Enforcement Office and request it.
Single father? Not without court orders. see links
Of course. Same general custody rules apply for a parent if in the military or not.
Depends if it is a single trailer or a double-wide
A single mother can as the US does not generally honor foreign father custody orders. Only Cuba does.
