If the father has not seen the child in 11 years the child is now 13 never supported the child what rights do the father have?

This depends on a number of factors. The age of a child has a lot to do with parental rights. The divorce or separation degree may already have specific information about this topic. It would be best to hire an attorney or mediator to help work this out for you.

∙ 13y agoyes he does, at least in the state of Kansas. All he would have to do is get an attorney and establish paternity. Although if he did go through the court system and hasn't been paying child support he would have 11 years of back child support to pay

Second, that child may have inheritance rights according to the law in the particular state or other jurisdiction.

Can a father relinquish his parental rights to an 11-year-old child who he just found out about?
yes the same way you sign over the rights when a child is born it's the same way years later you can still sign over your rights just as long as the mother is in consent and everyone is in agreement you can surely do that. * If the father was never aware of the child's existence then he has not established parentage and cannot relinquish rights that he does not have. If the issue is child support, the biological mother or legal custodian of the child must file a lawsuit for child support. Child support will not be addressed until parentage is established. If the male is found to be the father,arrearages will not be allowed if he can prove did not have knowledge of the child until the current time. After parentage has been established the court may or may not accept a request for the voluntary termination of parental rights from a biological parent.
