Is it legal to sell your rights to a child to the other parent?

In the United States, rights are not bought and sold. You can petition to terminate your parental rights if your state of residence (or country, if you live outside of the US) allows for this, but doing so only removes your rights to visitation and/or decision making in your child's life. It does not remove your obligation to financially support your child.

Is it legal in Alabama for a mother to relinguish her parental rights to another adult individual that lives out of state?
I am presuming that you're asking if one parent can relinquish her parental rights and basically give the child to another adult who is unrelated and not the child's other parent. The basic rule is that if one parent terminates her rights then the other parent has those rights unless the rights of that adult were previously terminated. I am sure that in any case the adult to whom the child was given must officially adopt the child by going through certain judicial proceedings.
If an adult child is staying with their parents temporarily does the adult child have legal rights to their parent's residence because they receive mail at their parent's address?
Receiving mail as a guest in your parents' home does not give you any legal rights in their property. You may be entitled to notice under state laws if they want to evict you but you have no other rights in the property.
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...
Can I have legal rights to a baby without going to court?
If you are the natural parent you have legal rights. Those rights are presumed and someone will have to go to court to take those rights away. if you no longer have a relationship with the other parent, or have a very bad relationship with the other parent, and they are the primary caretaker, then the other parent can go to court, perhaps gain sole custody of the child, and your rights will be greatly limited.If you are not the natural parent, it is very difficult to gain legal guardianship over the child without the parent's consent, unless the parent is shown to be incompetent. If the parent is found incompetent, there is no guarantee the court would not find the state foster care system a better option for the child. In any event, you would have to go to court to have any guardianship/adopted parental rights recognized.
Can a parent that has legal custody let the child stay with the other parent for summer break?
Yes, that is legal.
If parental rights are still in effect does a parent have a legal right to see his or her child?
A parent is the biological or legally adoptive mother or father. If you have lost custody of your child you are still the child's parent in that sense. If you have allowed your child to be legally adopted you may not be in their life but you are still their parent in that sense. In a legal sense you can no longer make any decisions for the child and have no parental rights.
Can your daughter receive disability from his father even if his rights were severed?
If the biological parents' rights were severed, the parent is a legal stranger to the child, and she and the father have no duties or benefits to each other.
If you have primary physical custody and joint legal custody do you have move rights then the parent that does not have physical custody when it comes to the best interest of the child?
