Not at all. Terminating parental rights is a court process by which you either voluntarily relinquish your parental rights or there is serious danger posed to your child such that the court does it without your consent. Either way, when parental rights are terminated, the parent has no more rights to the child. Losing custody can be a temporary thing and does not change your parental status.

Can a dad sign his parental rights over to his mom before he loses his child in sc?

Losing your child via court ordered custody order or modification? Yes by filing a motion pertaining to the same in the court of jurisdiction. However, you should be aware that such a motion may not be granted unless another person is legally adopting the child (full custody to the mother doesn't apply) and in almost all cases, terminating your parental rights does not terminate your obligation to pay child support. All it accomplishes is terminating your right to see your child or have any say-so in their lives.


Could my 16 year old girlfriend sign the rights of our baby to me if im 17 years old in the state of Texas?

She can have her rights terminated by the court if they and you agree to it. If you mean custody you have to (unless you have already done this) go to court and prove paternity and then you can ask for custody and also for her to pay child support. Terminating her rights does not mean she don't have to pay child support. Minor parents have the same rights as adult ones.

What rights does a parent with sole custody have?

There are different types of custody: sole physical custody, where the child resides primarily with one parent but the non-custodial parent is typically awarded visitation rights, and sole legal custody, where one parent makes decisions in the child's life pertinent to their welfare. So, rights are delineated dependent upon the same.
