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.

Who legally adopted the child?If the mother's new husband legally adopted the child, then the biological father's parental rights had to be terminated first. Which means that the biological father is NOT obligated to pay child support anymore. The new adoptive father has taken on all rights and responsibilities for the child.


Can an adopted father of a child give up his rights to the child after a divorce?

How do you terminate your parental rights as a father if you adopted him because your ex-wife had him prior to your marriage?

If you legally adopted the child, you would terminate your parental rights the same way you would with a biological child. Get a lawyer and go to court. However, keep in mind that if you legally adopted the child, terminating your parental rights does not terminate your legal relationship with the child. According to the law, you are the child's father and you will be required to pay child support. Terminating your parental rights will only relinquish your custody rights and your ability to make decisions on behalf of the child.


Does a child have to know biological father for him to give up parental rights?
