Yes and no, depending on the circumstances. Not if the child was adopted.
There can be no suit for custodial rights unless the biological parents have been notified of the action and given a chance to respond and/or file a countersuit. An exception of the law might be, if the biological parent has voluntarily relinquished parental rights and the court has agreed or the court has issued an order permanently terminating parental rights to the child in question.
If you are still finically responsible then a parent should have some rights. Even if it is supervised visits. other wise go after the parent who still has rights, not the one who has given up or lost their rights.
I am presuming that you're asking if one parent can relinquish her parental rights and basically give the child to another adult who is unrelated and not the child's other parent. The basic rule is that if one parent terminates her rights then the other parent has those rights unless the rights of that adult were previously terminated. I am sure that in any case the adult to whom the child was given must officially adopt the child by going through certain judicial proceedings.
The father should consult with an attorney but unless he has been declared an unfit parent by the court with jurisdiction over the child, or he has given up his parental rights, he would be the primary choice for custody of the child.The father should consult with an attorney but unless he has been declared an unfit parent by the court with jurisdiction over the child, or he has given up his parental rights, he would be the primary choice for custody of the child.The father should consult with an attorney but unless he has been declared an unfit parent by the court with jurisdiction over the child, or he has given up his parental rights, he would be the primary choice for custody of the child.The father should consult with an attorney but unless he has been declared an unfit parent by the court with jurisdiction over the child, or he has given up his parental rights, he would be the primary choice for custody of the child.
Don't know if I'm right on this but it seems like you have things a bit mixed up so I will give several answers:- If you want to give up your parental rights the other parent does not have to be married for you to do so. Both parents have parental rights so you can't sign those over the already biological parent. If they have been removed by the court or he/she have given them up, it's up to the court to decide if they can get it back. You cannot give them your parental rights.- If you are giving up your parental rights so the new partner of your ex can adopt, it depends on the law of that state if boyfriend/girlfriend is allowed to adopt or not when unmarried. They will be evaluated and the court finally decides.- If you mean signing custody over to your ex, no he/she does not have to be married and can openly live with their new boyfriend/girlfriend.

If it was given to the child, then no.
If the couple is married they both have equal parental rights. In Virginia, an unmarried mother is presumed to have custody. Once the paternity of the father has been established legally through the court he can request custody. The court will make a determination of physical custody based solely on the best interest of the child. See related link for more information.
Probably not. In most places, unless your natural father has lost or given up his rights and the step father actually adopted you, he has no parental rights (he was merely your mother's husband.)
This is based on prevailing law in the United States. If you live elsewhere, you should so indicate. Yes, they may refuse if the non-custodial parent did not relinquish their parental rights either voluntarily or involuntarily in preparation for adoption or otherwise give their permission as a matter of court record. If the stepfather is legally adopting the child (which could only happen with consent of the non-custodial parent and only if parental rights were terminated), then the right to change the child's surname is given.
Even if you've given up parental rights, you'll still have to pay child support if it's been determined that you are the biological father. Child support is not payment to see the child. It's designed to help the primary custodial parent support the child in a single parent household.
Yes That Is Giving Up Parental Rights.
