The father might seek visitation and/or custody.
He absolutely cannot. The mother can call the police and they can take the child back. Most likely will he loose visitation rights if he does this or it will be supervised or in the mothers home.
Too much drinking and lack of supporting of his family will lead to a father to loose his rights to his child.
yes u can
generally this is done when there is an allegation of child abuse, but also pressure can be put on her to do this in order to receive welfare benefits.
It depends on wether he and the Irish child mother were marry before or after the child was born, which will gives him automatic rights as long as he lives- on the other side of it, he do'NT have that right automatic if not marry as the mother will have to agree with him for those rights through a declaration as provided under Irish law or the courts. If he get the rights from the court,he can loose it through the courts as it has given him those rights. No matter where he may goes or who he marries to - as long as he has rights from day one he stills has them over his child until the child seases his consent which is normally eighteen. The court can determine who may have full rights if he do'NT have them automatically.
mother or father?
no, but see link below
How can he be the custodial parent if there's no custody order? His relationship with the child would be the primary factor here. If he didn't know, Paternity Fraud may be an issue for the mother.
yes she can because the child would run away yeah first answer
To the state? Yes To the father? Not so likely
I think he should
A father can voluntarily sign over his parental rights, provided it is approved by the courts AND the mother, provided she's not collecting Welfare, now or in the future. When she collects AFDC, she gives up any right to claim, or not claim, child support. (see related question) If these conditions are met, he's not liable for paying child support to the child, or to free that child for adoption. He can loose his parental rights is he lives a life that would be detrimental to a child. States are now, more and more often, taking into account what is best for the CHILD. So, the behavior of the parents can have more of an effect on their parental rights. If the parent's behavior is chronically bad - drug dealing, crime, that sort of thing, they are much more likely to loose parental rights.
