Best Answer

That dependent of the age of the child and your state. In Kansas, if the father has not been providing financial support during the pregnancy, he cannot stop an adoption of the child up to one year old. In Missouri, if you have not had contact with the child for at least six months, even when being denied access, you will not even be notified of the adoption. In most cases, you have to be notified in every state, and given the opportunity to file a challenge.

What are legal rights for fathers in Wisconsin if the baby has not yet been born but mother is in labor and adoption papers have not been cancelled?

I would think that if the mother and father are not together and the mother is willing to give up custody of the child to the father than the father would have rights to the child. If the adoption papers haven't been canceled yet they will have to be signed when the baby is born saying that the mother and father give up parental rights to the child

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.


Is the mother or the father a child's next of kin?

The mother AND the father are a child's next of kin. Next of kin is determined by legal adoption, marriage and blood. If a child's parents are deceased their next-of-kin would be their siblings by blood or by legal adoption.


If a father terminates his parental rights does the mother have to give up the child for adoption if the mother is a single parent?

If the father terminates his parental rights the single mother can legally and solely have full custody of that child as long as the courts decide that she is capable of working and providing a safe environment for the child. There are times that the parents of the young mother, or possibly grandparents will help in looking after the child if the mother is a minor and finishing her education and the courts will often look favorably on this.
