Without more information to go on, it's rather difficult to give much of an answer. If it's his child, and he wants to be in the child's life as an active father, and he is not abusive to the child, then you don't. You don't try to force him to give away his rights as the father, nor do you do that to your child. Children have a right to know, and be with, their biological parents unless the parents are abusive. Is it a case of two teens and an unwed pregnancy? If so, he still has his rights as the child's father. If you don't want to raise the child, then give him sole custody and sign away your rights. On the other hand, if he doesn't want the responsibility of raising the child himself, but is not willing to sign away his rights, then that's a different matter. But there is no way to force him to sign away his rights. If it's a case where you and the child's father are not together, and he is not involved in the child's life, and you have a husband who loves and wants to adopt your child, then, again, there is no way to force him to sign away his parental rights. In all of the above situations though, if you have custody of the child, you can have the courts force him to pay child support.

What do you do when you are divorcing your husband who is not the biological father of your child and the child's real father wants to be involved?
Do the kids like him? Has he taken on the traditional role of the father for these children? It really doesn't have much to do with whether he is the biological father, in a situation like this, it's about the children. What damage will you be doing to them if you pull him away? Don't let your anger against him turn into a punishment for the children. Life's tough enough when a child goes through the parent's divorce. You don't need to make it worse. * In the US a spouse who is not a biological parent does not have custodial rights to children when a divorce occurs unless he or she adopted the child during the marriage. If adoption is an issue and the parties cannot reach an amicable agreement, custodial and/or visitation decisions will be left to the judge. If the biological father did not relinquish his rights he can request custody or visitation of his child or children. If he did relinquish parental rights then he no longer has legal rights of any sort to the child and any part he plays in the child's life depends upon what the custodial parent(s) choose to do.
Do you have to pay back child support if you turn over your rights?
no
Do you need the mother's consent to sign over parental rights?
It's possible (though not likely) that the court will allow you to terminate your parental rights without Mom's consent. However, in that event, you would still be required to pay child support. The requirements to voluntary relinquish parental rights is determined by state laws. A biological parent can usually file a petition in the proper court venue w/o the other parent agreeing, however that person will be notified of by the court of the pending action. The petitioner must meet state TPR requirements before a judge will review and rule on the request. In some states partial rights might be terminated while others such as support remain valid. Such cases are generally adjudicated on an individual basis.

How does an unborn baby know its father?
Unborn babies react to the sound of their father's voice, in the womb, and after birth will turn to their father's voice over another man's voice. There is no way for a fetus to know that a specific male voice belongs to the biological father. It is more likely that, after birth, the male voice that is heard most often by the baby and that becomes associated with pleasure (feeding, being picked up, etc.) will contribute to the initial bonding that occurs, and that will strengthen over time, between baby and father. Later, visual cues will add further strength to the original bonding.
What should you do if you want to live with your sisters dad instead of your real dad?
Your biological father has custody until he voluntarily agrees to turn over legal custody to another responsible adult. If you can discuss this with your father and he is willing to allow the change in legal custody then the case must be brought to the local probate court where the parties must file a petition for legal guardianship.
How do you terminate the parental rights of the father when his name is not on the birth certificate?
It depends on was the father's name on the birth certificate to begin. But usually yes as a friend of mine just adopted two children and the biological parents names are on the birth certificate and they both terminated their rights to the children. A persons name remains the same on their birth cirtificate until they legally change it, or if they are a minor, their parent legally changes it. If the father has given up his legal rights, he has given up any legal decision making for this child until they are 18. The child will have their birth name until their mother changes it legally.
