Yes you could, but it's best to do it the legal way just in case the father has a change of heart. Good luck In the US any relinquishment of parental rights must be done according to the prescribed legal procedure of the state in which the child resides.
In most states the baby's father cannot sign over parental rights unless the court agrees. The court will act in the best interest of the child, and usually the mother is involved in any such decision.
In general, parental rights are terminated either preparatory to an adoption, or after a trial in which it is determined that the parent is unfit. In any case, termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.
Yes. If he is not on the birth certificate and is willing to do so. He can sign an affidavit basically saying he does not know and does not care to know whether or not he is the father. That affidavit will relinquish all rights. That is in Texas. I don't know about elsewhere.

No. "Signing over rights" means legal rights. Generally, legal rights can only be affected by a court decree. The mother would need to sign over her rights by consenting to a guardianshipby some other responsible adult approved and appointed by a court. That person would become the child's legal guardian. The father must consent also.
If she wants to sign over her rights to the father then she would need to consent to his court petition asking to be named the parent with sole custody. If the court approves the request it will issue an order to that effect.

It depends on what you mean by signing over her rights. A mother could consent to the father being given sole legal custody. She may be required to pay child support. You should consult with an attorney if you want more information.
In the state of Alabama, yes a mother can sign over her parental rights to the father of the child.

It's not legally valid without the court.
not if she's married, or a single mother living in Arizona
If the original decree gave full custody to the father, then only the father can relinquish said custody. You will need to hire an attorney to figure out the legal implications required to take on such a task. But is it possible to give away custody of her without going to court? All my mom did was sign papers and send them to my dad who has not even filed them.
No. The prosecution must convince the court that you received actual notice of the initial proceeding.
it depends on your custody papers and what they say... if you have joint custody NO.... if you have residential custody maybe with court allowing it.... if you have sole custody then you would need to inform him but you could leave!!!
When a parent does not have court ordered custody papers..any parent can have thr chilld...EX if the father takes him and doesn't want to return them well there is nothing you can do...if you call the police..they want a copy of the court ordered custody papers to remove the child from the non custodial parent....protect yourself get court ordered papers....my children were take by their father...i had no choice but to wait it out till he decided to return them...I did not have custody papers and nothing could be done since he was the father
If your matter was signed by a Judge in court, then you should have received a copy of the order from the court. If not, you can contact the court where the case was heard to request a copy. If you do not have a court order, then you have no proof of custody and only have what is called defacto custody
First you need custody of him and the only way to get that is by going to court. If the father then have shared custody or visitation rights both he and the court have to then give you permission to move the child out of state. You also, satisfactory to you both, solve the issue about the child being able to see both parents so the visitation or shared custody order is not broken. So unless his father is willing to give up custody and let you take your son out of state you will have to move without him.
If the father doesn't have joint custody, then yes. If he does have some sort of custody, probably not. If you went to court, look on the papers or call the court and see how much parental rights he has.
Report her back to court. It's not legal to break the court order.
You should be able to, but every custody agreement is different. It should specifically state in your custody papers from the court if it is allowed. In the absence of an existing agreement that depends on whether the other parent has visitation rights. If so, you cannot remove the child without court approval.
Yes but he has to establish that he is the father so he has to get legal papers, birth certificate and do a DNA test. Without papers that you are the father you can't go to court and apply for visitation right and custody.
No, custody is court ordered and it can only be modified in court.
