Does a mother have any parental rights when she has a child in foster care?

In the United States, the state must take legal custody of a child who isn't living in a safe environment (usually through Child Protective Services) in order to place that child in foster care. That means the mother has lost her parental rights at least temporarily. She should contact the court that issued the order or the social worker in charge of the case to determine what rights she may have during the state's custody.

What happens if the state takes back custody of a child and puts the child in foster care because the mother has no parental rights but pays child support?
Parents usually have to pay for their child even if it is the state that has custody. The child is taken away and parental rights terminated in order to protect the child. If you want your parental rights back and custody you will have to turn to the court.
