If this is guardianship, a simple notarized letter stating the fact, along with exact parameters and limitations of any potential interference on your part, plus a notarized Power of Attorney over the child.
Procedure depends on state law where you reside and what exactly you are signing over. Rights? Custody?
Modify what? Custody? Child support? Both? Procedure to file? Procedure to answer? State or country where such an action is occurring or will occur?
Yes
Who is the child living with? Who pays the support?
What kind of restitution? Money? No, that would be selling your child, which is illegal. There is no restitution for signing over parental rights. And if the reason for wanting to do so is to not have to pay child support, then it won't do you any good. A father is legally responsible for helping to support his child unless he allows the child to be adopted. Or, as in some cases, allows someone else to have legal guardianship of the child. But even then, you may still be ordered to pay child support, depending on the circumstances and the state in which you live.
Legally he can't. The parent of a child cannot arbitrarily give up that child and be relieved of the obligation of financial support without following the legal procedure as prescribed by the laws of the state where the child resides.
Yes, that is usually the procedure.
The District Attorney/State's Attorney and/or the State child support agency can do this.
It depends on state law, but the parties would probably need to follow some procedure to establish the non-party as the legal father of the child and to relieve the husband from any obligation for child support for that child.
No, the state will accept only dependants listed on your federal return
State House Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. If you are on the west coast Knoxberry Farm has recreated the state house and the signing.
What do you want to know about it and where do you live? In the USA, procedure varies from location to location, and in some states, you cannot voluntarily terminate your parental rights. Only the state may do that and only under the most extreme and dire conditions. In all states, terminating parental rights does not terminate child support obligations unless and until the child is legally adopted by another third party.
