The terminology might be different in your state as opposed to here in New Jersey but this might, repeat, might answer your question. You must look into the laws of the state of probate and of your own if they are not one and the same. In New Jersey a decedent may appoint a "testamentary guardian", who would obviously assume the usual parental rights over the minor. The catch is that no such appointment is effective if the other parent is alive unless the surviving parent consents in writing to the appointed testamentary guardian taking over. It might be the same regarding the "parental rights" you mention. I cannot imagine any state allowing one parent to deprive the other of parental rights, merely by saying so in the will.

In Connecticut can a father give up parental rights so he doesn't have to pay child support?

Giving up parental rights has nothing to do with paying support. As the natural father, you are obligated to support the child the mother will be raising and can be ordered to do so by the court. You made the decisions; the consequences are yours. Think of the child and his or her needs through childhood. Would you want to be left behind because your father didn't want to support you?


Can a father sign his parental rights over to a family member?

No not in Wisconsin. In all states any person that the court defines as an "interested party" and in this case the mother would qualify as such, said person has the legal right to oppose the action in question. The final decision is left in a situation such as this, to the presiding judge. The voluntary relinquishment of paternal rights is generally granted so the child(ren) can be eligible for adoption. In cases not connected with adoption the judge rules on what is in the best interest of the child(ren) not the preference of other parties.

You left your husband and took your daughter with you can he call the cops on you?

Anyone can "call the cops" on anyone else. The question is, will the accusation stick? If there is evidence to suggest you are neglecting or abusing your daughter, or denying him his parental rights as father of your daughter, or if by taking your daughter you are violating a court order, you may well have to explain yourself, at the least.
