If you can find someone to sign your rights over to, (you do not sign the rights 'away', you transfer them) then US law can allow you to do this.

For example if a couple have a child and then get divorced, and the woman later remarries, she can request that the biological father signs their child's rights over to the new husband. The biological father is then no longer responsible for the child, the new husband is.

However a biological father cannot simply abandon his right just because he no longer wishes to support his child.

Parental rights and parental duties are not the same thing. If you terminate your parental rights you may no longer visit the child or contact him. However, in many states, including Oklahoma, you may still have an obligation to pay support. This can vary by individual circumstances, so it's best to check with and attorney.


How long does it take to sign over your parental rights?

Signing over your rights?

What do you want to know about it and where do you live? In the USA, procedure varies from location to location, and in some states, you cannot voluntarily terminate your parental rights. Only the state may do that and only under the most extreme and dire conditions. In all states, terminating parental rights does not terminate child support obligations unless and until the child is legally adopted by another third party.

Depends on if you live in a state where you can "sign over your rights." In some states/courts agreements between parents where one parent says "I relinquish my rights" is meaningless. However, adoption will typically relieve you of any future support obligation but all arrearage will remain (unless waived).

Can a man sign away his rights to his children and how?

In most states it is possible to voluntarily relinquish parental rights. States establish their own laws pertaining to domestic issues, therefore you would need to consult the laws pertaining to the procedure in the state where the children reside. There are specific TPR requirements that must be met before relinquishment of parental responsibility is granted. The usual reason is to enable the child/children to become eligible for adoption. Although it is not impossible to achieve, courts are extemely reluctant to allow termination parental rights as a means of escaping financial obligations.


If you are 19 and your girlfriend is 16 and pregnant can you get married without parental consent in Kansas?

No. Actually, there are a few states in which u can get married without parental consent. In Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland and Oklahoma, they allow pregnant teens or teens who have already had a child to get married without parental consent. In Florida, Kentucky, and Oklahoma, the young couple must have authorization from a court. Maryland requires that the minor be at least 16. Even with parental approval, many states will require court approval when a person is 16 years of age or less.Hope this helps!
