ANYONE can type a contract. If the wording of the contract is "legally sufficient' the responsibility for carrying it out, or performing its requirements, becomes that of the person who signs it.

Can a non custodial parent sign child up for activities ie Girl Scouts?

The non custodial parent can sign the child up for activities that are to be done during vistations as long as the custodial parent is okay with it. If the custodial parent objects it comes down to what type of legal custody arrangement is in place. If legal custody (decision making ability) is shared then each parent has the right to decide on activities for the child during their time. If you have joint legal custody and the girl scouts meetings will occur during a time that your child is normally with you, you can sign them up and take them. If the other parent has sole legal custody and objects to girl scouts for some reason you can't sign them up even if they meet during your visitation time.Most organizations are not picky about who signs the child up for an activity as long as the activity gets paid for and no one objects to the child participating.

If one parent signs the rights over to the other parent can the rightless parent be arrested for seeing the child again?

Signing over custodial rights does not mean the non-custodial parent is not permitted to see the child ever again. It simply means one parent will make the legal decisions for and regarding the child. The custodial parent can certainly deny the non-custodial visitation, but the court would rather see each parent active in the child's life if at all possible. As for arrest, you can only be arrested for violating a law or a restraining order. This is general information and not legal advice, laws vary by state, please consult a local attorney regarding local laws.


Is there a law to prevent the father from taking the kids out of US?

Yes. A parent cannot remove a minor child from U.S. jurisdiction unless he or she holds sole legal and physical custody of the child. A passport will not be issued for the child unless aforementioned conditions exist and/or the non custodial parent personally appears at the hearing and signs an affidavit agreeing to the action.

If you give away parental rights do you have to pay child support?

Yes, you are STILL the person responsible for bringing the child into the world. You need to support them. The laws vary from state to state on parental rights and child support,So signing away your parental rights may not relieve you from paying child support.. However if one parent wants the other parent to sign away their parental rights,they can come to a legal aggreement that if the parent signs away their rights then the other parent will cancel any current child support and will not seek support for that child in the future,this of course must be done through the courts...
