Can the biological mother sign over parental rights to biological father?

Any time a parent releases custodial rights it must be done through the Family Court.
If this other man is the child's step parent then Dad can voluntarily terminate his parental rights through the court and then step dad can adopt the child. But Dad can't just sign his rights over to any other man. Legal guardianship of children must be accomplished by court order.

∙ 8y agoThe court always considers the welfare of the child(ren) before anything else. The father might be allowed to relinquish parental rights, but he would not be relieved financial obligations, such as child support, medical coverage and so forth.

∙ 18y agoThere has to be a very good reason or the courts don't allow it(you CAN'T sign over parental rights to avoid paying child support). If you have a valid reason you would want to contact an attorney. Person seeking parental rights would have to go through the court system to have them terminated from someone else.

∙ 16y agoA biological father cannot be forced to relinquish his rights to his child simply because the mother wishes it to be so, the act must be voluntary. In some cases the court has the power to terminate parental rights of either the father or mother or both if circumstances warrant.

∙ 13y agoLike a father wishing to do this, it must be approved by a judge, however this does not cover financial responsibility.
