To give up your children to the state means giving up your parental rights, not just custody and the state will not allow that if it's just because the children are not obeying. Children who comes from good homes do not benefit from ending up in fostercare. It's not a miracle solution. You contact the socialworkers and they make a visit and see what is going on and if the court find it justifiable they will let you give up custody to them. You will most likely still pay child support and not get parental rights back.

What is partial custody?
It indicates that one parent has the child or children less time than the primary custodial parent. For example the children may reside with the mother the majority of time, and have visitation with the father on weekends, holidays, etc. The parent with primary custody is the one who has specified rights to make decisions such as schooling, medical care and so forth. Joint custody indicates each parent has equal rights as to how the children are cared for in the above mentioned instances, and other contributing factors. Sometimes the court specifies such rights in the custody order, sometimes they are only implied.

Do step parents have legal rights to their step kids if the biological parent is unfit to take care of the kids?
Yes and no. If the biological parent is proven unfit to care for they're children then the step parent has the right to APPLY for custody of his/her step children. Keep in mind that being married to the biological parent doesn't automatically make them the parent of the children nor does it make them they're legal guardian so there are no guarantees that the step parent will be given custody. If the children are happy with the step parent and no one in the biological parents family protest the application and the step parent is proven fit to care for the child(ren) then most usually the courts will award the step parent custody.
What rights does a parent with sole custody have?
There are different types of custody: sole physical custody, where the child resides primarily with one parent but the non-custodial parent is typically awarded visitation rights, and sole legal custody, where one parent makes decisions in the child's life pertinent to their welfare. So, rights are delineated dependent upon the same.

What custody rights does a father and a husband have to his children after a year of no contact with the children?

If you are not divorced from your husband can your can the husband get custody of the children?
If you are not divorced then both parents have equal rights regarding custody, decision making and control of the children. If a couple chooses to live apart one party must obtain a court order to get sole custody of the children. That party would need to convince the court the other parent is unfit and awarding sole custody to the moving party is in the best interest of the children. A husband would not be favored for sole custody simply on the basis of being a man. There must be extenuating and serious circumstances for the court to award custody to one parent. You should consult with an attorney in your jurisdiction who can review your situation and inform you of your rights.
In the state of Wisconsin do step parents have rights to step children if the custodial parents have fifty fifty custody and placement?
A step parent does have some rights, but they are extremely limited. In Wisconsin, step parents do have rights regarding day to day care, BUT their rights are subject to the wishes of the biological parent that they are married to. As regards parental rights, a step parent is not considered a parent, but a legal guardian. In all major decisions (custody) or major events, a step parent does NOT have rights, nor can they contest a parent's rights in court unless they can prove a danger to the child would occur. In fact, a step parent who interfears with a biological parent's rights in any way can be held in Contempt for doing so. In ALL matters regarding the children, the rights of the step parent is ALWAYS trumped by either biological parent, unless a judge interseeds. In joint custody arrangements, both parents have equal rights, no one parent is above the other, no matter who has the children more, and a step parent cannot be a tie-breaker unless both parents agree. Only a judge, federal law, or state law can overrule or remove a biological parent's rights. The bottom line is the rights of a step parent in Wisconsin are VERY limited and are always subject to the biological parents.
