How do you sign a 15 year old rights over to a 19 year old?

What rights are you talking about? Are they parents? To give the 19yo custody or terminate the 15yo parental rights you have to go to court to do so. The 19yo have to petition for custody.


If a parent chooses NOT to have any contact with their biological child for over a year can their parental rights be terminated?

If your parental rights were terminated and your child was legally adopted your chances are slim that any court will reverse that order. Think of your child. If the child was adopted and has adapted to a new family it would be extremely disruptive to remove the child from that home. There must have been extreme circumstances for the court to terminate your parental rights in the first place. Your problems and instability should not continue to affect the child. You should consult with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your options, if any, or your lack of rights to be involved in your child's life.

Have you alerted the court that he is not paying so they can take it out of his paycheck? If there has been absolutely NO contact for 2 years you can petition for terminating his parental rights. If the reason he has not paid is because he can't due to no job etc that is not a reason to terminate his rights.
