I am not sure what rights you have in mind. There is not much that is done with children who are dead, other than to bury them, or possibly cremate them. Visitation rights cease to be an issue, since anyone is free to visit a cemetery. No child support payments are needed. What is this about?

How do you find information on making a father relinquish his rights and when a father relinquishes his parental rights is he still obligated to pay court-ordered child support?
Consult the laws in the state in which you reside that pertain to parental responsibility. Each state has specific TPR guidelines that a parent must meet before they are allowed to voluntarily reliquish parental rights. Even if the criteria is met the final decision is determined by the presiding judge. If the person is allowed to relinquish their parental rights, they are no longer responsible to financially support the child/children. They also have no rights of visitation, decision making or anything that might relate to the child or children. In addition, a parent cannot be forced to give up their rights to their biological child/children. It is either a voluntary action or the court permanently terminates parental rights due to neglect and/or abuse of the minor child or children. *That is not always true. Each state is different and a lot of states require the parent that is relinquishing rights to continue to pay child support unless the child is being adopted. If it was that easy every dead beat parent would try to relinquish their rights just so they didn't have to pay
Does the step parent have guardianship of step children after marriage?
Unfortunately they don't, even when you are married. If the other parent has died, then you can apply to be guardian of the children, where you would then get rights. Or if the other parent couldn't look after then children, the same could happen.

Can a father sign his parental rights over to a family member?
No not in Wisconsin. In all states any person that the court defines as an "interested party" and in this case the mother would qualify as such, said person has the legal right to oppose the action in question. The final decision is left in a situation such as this, to the presiding judge. The voluntary relinquishment of paternal rights is generally granted so the child(ren) can be eligible for adoption. In cases not connected with adoption the judge rules on what is in the best interest of the child(ren) not the preference of other parties.

Can your husband adopt your children if their father has been absent over 5 years?
If you'd like to do a step-parent adoption, you'll have to terminate the current legal father's parental rights. Typically, a dead beat dad will consent to this process, because he will avoid any potential obligation to pay child support. However, that may not always be the case. The procedures to have his rights terminated over his objection vary by state. You should speak with a lawyer in your area that handles step-parent adoptions, and find out exactly what would be necessary in your case.

When an estranged parent dies does the grown adult child get anything?
Whether a grown child is estranged from his or her parent does not affect that child's right to inherit from the parent. The grown adult child's right to inherit ("get anything") depends on three things. First, does the adult have a will and is the adult child named in the parent's will? If so, the adult child will inherit, even if he or she is estranged from the parent. Second, if there is no will, then the laws of intestacy determine who gets the property of the dead parent. These laws vary from state to state and are determined by the state of residency of the dead parent. Often, assets of a dead parent are split between a surviving spouce and children under such laws. Lastly, the adult child could inherit ("get something") if he or she is named as a beneficiary on a life insurance policy, brokerage account, bank account or if he or she is a joint tenant or tenant in common on a piece of property or other asset. These assets pass outside of the dead person's estate and that person's will.
How long does it takes for a judge to issue a bench warrant for child support?

What if your sons Father has not seen him in 6 mouths and is not paying child support. Can you make him sign over his rights?
You cannot "make him" sign over, however, take him to court for child support, he is a dead beat, does not deserve a child, but he needs to pay up. the court will find him for you to make sure he pays. He may want to shirk his responsibility by signing over his parental rights if that is what you want. Signing over one's parental rights does not excuse one from paying child support. I suggest that you contact your State's child support agency. When you get an interview with them, bring all the papers relating to your child support: birth certificates, acknowledgments of paternity, court orders, payment records, etc. Be polite but persistent. Good luck!
