If he acknowledges that he IS the unborn child's father and wishes to give up all visitation and other future rights of access to the child, he may do so at any time. An attorney or legal aid office can assist him in filing the papers with the court. HOWEVER - his action will NOT prevent the state from proceeding against him in any future action for child support.
In most jurisdictions, a father cannot legally terminate his parental rights during pregnancy. Parental rights are typically terminated through a court process after the child is born. However, he can discuss his concerns and responsibilities with you, and together, you can decide on the best course of action for both of you and the baby.
It is typically not common to terminate parental rights with an adult child. Once a child has reached the age of majority, the legal relationship between a parent and child is different. If there are exceptional circumstances where termination of parental rights is necessary, legal counsel should be sought to determine the best course of action.
In Oklahoma, a pregnant minor has the right to consent to medical treatment related to her pregnancy and to make decisions about her pregnancy without parental involvement. However, she may still need parental consent for other medical procedures unrelated to her pregnancy. Additionally, she has the right to confidentiality regarding her pregnancy and medical care.
In Louisiana, a pregnant minor has the right to consent to medical care related to her pregnancy without needing parental consent. However, she may face barriers in terms of accessing abortion services as Louisiana has parental involvement laws that may require parental notification or consent for a minor to undergo an abortion procedure. It is important for the pregnant minor to seek guidance from a trusted adult or a legal professional to understand her rights and options.
No, in Texas, a pregnant 17 year old is considered a minor and would need parental consent to move out. Otherwise, her parent or legal guardian could report her as a runaway.
Parental Rights can be taken away if DSS files a petition with the court for termination of parental rights or if one of the parents files against the other one who is seeking to have the other parent's rights terminated. Sometimes it is done involuntarily on the part of the parent being served and sometimes a parent may choose to agree to relinquish their rights but the parent wanting to give up their rights can't just go and file for it. As stated, the other parent or DSS has to be the one to file. Each state has different laws on the procedure and grounds to do so. The best thing to do would be to go to google and type in your state and grounds and procedures for termination of parental rights or go to your state's legislative website and search for the laws, such as the state General Assembly or whoever makes laws in your state. The laws may fall under, Juveniles, Child Welfare, Domestic, Family, Adoptions, etc... Sometimes an adoption must take place in order for the TPR, meaning someone must be willing to adopt the child. In some states, that's not the case, one can be done without it. Some states you have to go to court to do it, in some it's done in front of the Clerk of Court. Some grounds for a TPR include abandonment, no contact for a period of time, no child support for a period of time, failing to establish paternity, abuse, neglect and the list goes on. In some states it is more difficult to get a TPR than in others. Hope this helps.
