What else can I help you with?
Can a mother get her child back after giving them up for adoption as a kinship or relative adoption?
no, she cannot
Can mother chose grandparents to watch child in place of father?
A parent can chose whomever they are comfortable with and believe will take care of the child properly while they are away. There is no requirement that a child has to be with a parent, or even a relative. The decisions cannot interfere with the other parent's rights to access and visitation as prescribed by the court.
If CPS places a child in your custody in Texas how long do you have to wait before trying to adopt the child and how much does an adoption like this cost?
It depends if it is a kinship placement or not. If the child is related to you, you can file for adoption as part of the termination of parental rights or anytime thereafter. If it is a kinship placement, the case worker should explore the possibility of you adopting the child as part of their permanancy plan for the little one. If this is NOT a kinship placement and you are a foster parent, you need to have the child in your care continuously for one year before you have standing to sue for custody/adoption of the child. Hope that helped some.
Does my husband have to assume parental rights for my child in order for the father of my child to terminate his parental rights in Alabama?
No. The biological father can give up his rights and if your husband then want to be more than a step parent, who have no rights to the child, can adopt your child. Or not, that is your choice as the parent.
How can a birth parent explain to their young child that they are going to be adopted by a relative?
* Unfortunately, you did not give any reason as to why the birth parent is giving up their young child to a relative. If at all possible; even if it means government assistance the birth parent should try to keep their child. If it's absolutely impossible then all the birth parent can do is try to explain to the child the best they can, but it will never be enough and the child will feel unloved by the birth parent. Eventually the child will grow accustomed to being raised by a relative, but will eventually grow up and want to know why their birth parent did this. The least the birth parent can do is write a heart-felt letter explaining the circumstances as to why they had to give the child up and give the letter to the relative and when the child is old enough to understand and asks 'Why did my birth parent give me up' then they can read the letter. The birth parent should keep in touch with the relative to see how their child is and at some future date and providing the child wants too then the birth parent and child should meet when that child is no longer a minor.

Can a parent be taken to court for no visitation rights?

Why does a parent in Ohio juvenile court who was found unfit still have visitation rights?
Often, just because a person is deemed unfit to parent, it doesn't mean they have no right to visit the child. The courts usually won't forbid a parent to have visitation rights, unless the parent has been proven to be physically harmful to the child. However, there are times when, if the court finds the parent's intentions towards the child 'suspect', but with no proof, they may allow only supervised visitation with the child. This means the parent can visit the child, but only with an approved adult present, such as another adult relative, or even a social worker.

If a parent of a child that lives in Michigan gives up their legal rights as parent have to pay child support?
