If the father does not go before a judge and ask to legitimize a child, he does NOT have rights to that child, neither does HIS family....BUT he still has an obligation to
pay child support.
Legitimize that child!
Not legitimizing a child can cause all kinds of problems if something were to happen to the child's mother. My son had signed my grand-daughter's birth certificate, AND we had a DNA test, my son was sent to prison, my grand-daughter's mother ran off leaving me to care for my grand-daughter. I took care of her for 3 years, but because my son had not legitimized her formally in court....the courts said I had no legal rights
to my grand-daughter and this caused a LOT of heartache and problems for me and my grand-daughter later when her mother popped back in and snatched her up!
What else can I help you with?
When mother has full custody of a child what are the rights of the stepfather vs the natural father?
The rights of the natural father depends on if the father has given up his rights or not. If he has not given up his rights, he has the same rights as the mother, or as outlines in the custody order.
Does your child's father have the same legal rights if you were never married but paternity was established for child support reasons?
Yes, he does.
If your sons biological father has never seen him and does pay child support does he have any rights?
absolutly, he has more rights than a step father because he is the child's biological father, he has a right to see the child if he so chooses unless the court forbids it. everyone has rights nowadays, siblings have rights, counsins, aunts and uncles even grandparents.
Can a father sign his rights over on his child who has never been involved in his life and get out of paying support on that child?
Child support can be terminated only if/when the child is adopted.
If a man is founded as a child abuser and your child is the one he abused but is not the father of the abused child but is of your unborn child does he have rights to the unborn baby?
A court would never award custody or visitation rights to a convicted child abuser.
Can a father be charged with parental kidnapping if he takes his child out of the state and she was never married to the father?
Yes. He would need her consent if she is the custodial parent.
Can you move children out of state without permission of biological father in Pennsylvania?
No. Not if a family court has jurisdiction over the child and the father has visitation rights. If the parents were never married and there has been no court involvement or paternity established the mother can try to move. However, the father could file an action in court to establish his paternity, visitation rights and prevent the removal of the child from the state.
What rights does a father have if he is not on the child's bith certificate has never helped finacially and doesn't pay child support?
Paternity must be established before any discussion of rights. Once that is done, the father has the right to pay child support and the right to petition for visitation - these are separate processes.
If the child's father has never seen her do you still need his permission to move out of state with her?
Only if he has custody or visitation rights with her. Otherwise, no.
Can the mother of a 2 month old baby keep the father from seeing the child if they have never been married when the father wants to support and help with care?
nope. if the father is indeed the biological father then he has rights that can not be taken away unless he willingly gives it up by sighning off his rights or it is cort ordered. but in no way can the mother of a child regardless of the age of the child keep the father from seeing his son/and of daughter.
What are the father's parental rights if his name gets put on a child's birth certificate and he was never married to the mother?
he has every right to the child as you do. Meaning if you want to do something with the child you need his permission.
In Texas would a step-dad get custody of a minor child if the mom died and the biological father has never been a part of the child's life?
The step father would have to adopt the child. For this to happen, the biological father would have to relinquish all rights through the court system.
