Typically parents have equal rights to their children, but if the child lives in a different country, it's best to hire a lawyer that knows the laws in that country when it comes to things like custody, visitation, and child support
That depends on where the child was born. If in the USA, the father, if legally deemed, has as many rights as the state's laws provide in the child's legal state of residence. Any child born on USA soil is, by virtue of their birth, conferred the status of a citizen of the USA and as such, is subject to all federal laws and state laws where they reside. If the child was born in Brazil and USA citizenship has need been otherwise awarded, Brazilian law would apply as to the rights of the father.
No, the child is American.
Yes I think he does have rights if he is the child's father. Legal status shouldn't have any bearing.
In the United States the father has no rights until the child is born.
Since the father is a minor, I would think that his parents have rights.
The right to petition the courts for the right to see and support his child.
Paying child support will not cause the father to lose his parental rights - neither will not paying child support.
the child and your self need to go to immagrastion and get citizenship in brazil for the child.
No. There is no requirement for the child to have to "know" the father for him to give up his parental rights.
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.
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.
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.
