How do you go about having the babys father sign over his parental rights?

Answer 1

IF Months go by, and you havn't heard anything from the father, they really seem more interested in YOU then your child, don't call or anything on birthdays or Holidays, and personally won't claim the child... its all a mind game,they can't afford child support, and we find ourselves kicking oursleves in the "bum" wondering "Why him as the sperm donor?" If he won't sign over rights, then make sure that he understands that you want NOTHING from him. NOT A DOLLAR. I even told my daughters father that we "just don't and ever did exist anymore." When they are really worried about their paychecks instead of their KIDS its easy.... they sign so fast. SO MAKE IT CLEAR..... when the papers are signed, you have the right to change their name (birth certificate),and they are to NEVER contact you in any way. Unless hes a real loser, it isn't an easy thing for men to do. They have alot of pride, and some do get attached to their children. (If the moms lucky)

Answer 2

Since each state has its own laws governing such an action, it is hard to say without knowing where you live. There is however nothing quick about the process. Judges are not that open to letting either parent just "quit". Unless there is clear evidence that the parent is unfit, as in a convicted felon, chemical abuser, obviously child molester/abuser, etc... As far as expense, there are organizations that might help with the process and charge what you can afford. Most Family Law attorneys offer free consultations.

Answer 3

There is no "best way". The parent wishing to give up his or her parental rights must file a voluntary relinquishment of parental rights in the appropriate state court in the county in which they reside. The judge will decide if the petition will be granted and if so to what extent. A TPR is not a legal method that can be used by a parent to allow them to escape their financial responsibility to a minor child. Voluntary TPR's are usually granted to allow a minor child/children to become eligible for adoption.

Answer 4

In general, parental rights are terminated either preparatory to an adoption, or after a trial in which it is determined that the parent is unfit. In any case, termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.

Answer 5

You don't sign over parental rights, you either have them or you terminate them. The father, if not married to the mother, can get his parental rights by going to court and prove paternity by a DNA test. He can then petition for custody, visitation rights and pay child support.

If the mother in this case wants to terminate her parental rights she has to ask the court for that but they usually only allow it if the child is up for adoption. She would still have to pay child support if they terminate.

In this case the father should just get full custody, legal and physical.
