Since a sinlge mother has sole custody by default, this question makes no sense.
I'm not familiar with Florida law but I'm sure the mother could keep the child in such a case.
If the father Legally gave up his parental rights - (signed legal papers), then he is no longer legally responsible to pay child support for the child. Did he give up parental rights so you could remove the child from the country? A family member of mine had to have her baby's father sign away his parental rights so he would not have to pay child support when he entered the military. So - once parental rights are signed away Legally, the father has NO obligation to pay child support. You cannot have it both ways - you cannot have him sign away his parental rights, yet still expect him to pay child support.
Is he on the birth certificate? If he is he will be considered the legal father in most states. He could then go to court seek paternity rights. If no one mentions the issue of his immigration status it may not affect the court's decision. But if the mother is bringing it up the father could be arrested and deported.
You lie. You say, "Your father loved you and realized he could never contribute to the family. I could not afford to feed both him and you. That is why he gave up his parental rights." You try to make the kid feel special rather than rejected.
I would say yes cause i see no reason for a mother to have no rights but it matters what care their in tho. But yeah sure they could have their rights.
They could be anything depending on the parental genotype.
yes the father has more rights to his child when the mother let another man sign. If the father should or want to he could fill out paper work on the mother and get her right.
No, a judge will decide that. If shes now clean it could be very difficult for him to get parental rights. Most courts heavily favor the mother in parental disputes.
You need to take the mother back to court to enforce the visitation order. You should act ASAP. The mother is in contempt of a court order and if she continues to ignore the court she could lose custody.
He has to prove paternity in court to get his parental rights. He can then petition for custody, visitation and pay child support and also petition to sign the birth certificate. He could have done this 6 years ago when the child was born. The mother cannot deny him his parental rights. Now he will have to pay child support and he can even owe for 6 years back.
She could adopt him or she could be appointed a guardian. But that would require that the mother give up her rights to him. Or the law determines that she has abandoned him and allows it.
