This should be done in a court of law ... for everybodies protection. This prevents someone from later "claiming" that they had exclusive custodial rights at a certain age down the road in time. Do this legally and properly - you won't regret it and will have peace of mind that nobody can change it without your consent.
Another perspectiveThe grandparents need to petition the probate court to be appointed permanent guardians. A court order is necessary in order for them to have the legal right to make decisions for the child, enroll her in school, consent to medical treatment, etc. Schools and doctor's offices will ask for proof the grandparents have legal custody.
It will be easier with the father's consent. Otherwise the father will have the opportunity to object at the hearing and ask for custody himself. The court will appoint professionals to evaluate the situation and report their findings and recommendations back to the judge. The judge will render a decision.
If he is not the father of the child, he has no rights to sign over.
Generally, no.
The father doesn't have to sign over his rights for you to receive pubic assistance.His signing over his rights does not terminate his child support obligation.
She can terminate her parental rights, not yours.
It ends if and when the child is adopted.
That is a decision made by the court. A court can grant a partial or complete Termination of Parental Rights if the judge feels it is warranted for reasons other than said parent is relieved of his or her financial obligation to their minor child/children. Generally voluntary TPR's (those requested by a parent) are only granted when a child is being legally adopted.
In England and Wales, a foetus is considered to be a part of the womans body, so a father has no rights over it.

In all 50 states, you have to wait for the child to be born before you can forfeit your rights to a child.
Your husband has no rights over the child because he did not help in the creation of the child, but he can legally adopt her.

No, the girl has all rights to the child and once she has the child, she can get help from the state to raise her child or put it up for adoption. A grandparent can take the girl to court and try to get custody of the child, but the courts seem to favor the natural parent unless there is abuse.
