By reporting it to the agency in charge of child services in your state of residence or law enforcement depending on the law where you reside.
This is not something that should be done lightly. False accusations of abuse have lead to both parents losing custody to the state. However if the child is really being abused, you have a duty to report it.

Does a notarized guardianship paper for a 16-year-old mean that the mother signed her rights over?
No. A person cannot lose their parental rights to a child unless they file a voluntary relinquishment of parental rights petition and it is accepted by the court or the court permanently terminates parental rights due to abuse, neglect or some other applicable issue.
Can a mother object to fathers parental rights being terminated if she is on welfare?
Yes you can object. Generally a court will only terminate a parent's rights in order to allow a legal adoption to proceed or in cases of extreme abuse or neglect. A father cannot ask for his parental rights to be terminated simply to avoid paying child support.
Can you still adopt if you have had parental rights removed but for reasons other than child abuse?
This is something that would be dealt with on a case by case basis; start by talking to DCF (or whatever it's called in your area: department of children and families) and get information directly from them.AnswerI don't think that they will allow anyone to adopt that has had their parental rights taken away from them. Even if it was not for abuse, then it could have been for neglect.
Is there emancipation in Arizona?

Because of the very high rates of false allegations made against fathers, to block them enforcing their parental rights, a simple investigation does not warrant such a change.

Can you get a court to order your ex-boyfriend to give up his parental rights if he has not made an effort to visit his child since birth?
Sue for paternity, then offer him an "out" if he'll sign away his rights. * No. Parental rights can only be relinquished voluntarily or by permanently by the court for cases of abuse and/or neglect. The court can force a biological parent to support minor children; it cannot order a parent to participate in the children's lives.
