As long as no court actions have been taken against the mother for abandoning the children she can still show up again and demand to see her children. Only court action take take away her parental rights. If the father (or guardian) went to court after the abandonment to get custody he can refuse to allow the mother to see the kids, but the mother can take him to court to gain access to the children.

It's very important that fathers file for custody. I've seen cases where the mother came back years later, as to take the kids somewhere, and the where is the court house to file for custody based on possession. By the time there's a full hearing, the judge is unwilling to give the children back to the father. see link

How can you sign your parental rights away if you currently live in New York you have 2 children ages 14 and 10 the mother doesn't allow you to see them or have any contact?

If you love your children and recognize your responsibility to them as a parent, you could try petitioning the court for better visitation rather than sign your rights away. Signing away your rights, incidentally, would not preclude you from having to pay child support if so ordered by the court.

What are adult childrens rights to house if mom dies and was remarried?

When a mother who has remarried passes away, the rights of her adult children to her house depend on several factors, including whether the house was solely owned by her, if it was part of a marital property, and the terms of her will or estate plan. If the house was owned solely by the mother and she did not designate it to her new spouse or others in her will, adult children may inherit it. However, if the house was jointly owned or if there are provisions in her will favoring her spouse, the rights of the adult children could be limited. It's essential for them to consult with an estate attorney to understand their specific rights and options.
