In most jurisdictions world-wide, adoption terminates the responsibility of the biological parent(s) to pay support. This is effective from the start of the adoption. Technically, it is effective at the instant the court order for the adoption is signed.

While the adoption process is underway, but not finalized, the biological parent(s) is still obliged to maintain the child.

Is biological father liable for child support if the mother got married before the birth of the child?

Yes , the biological father will be held legally responsible for the support of his child .


How can you allow visitation by the biological father with his child who has been adopted by the spouse of the child's biological mother?

There are no laws that would prevent the child from vistation with her biological father as long as her custodial parents agree. The biological father has no legal grounds to seek vistation or custody if the adoption were done according to the laws of the state in which it occurred. Visitation must be voluntarily agreed to by the custodial parents and the child under the terms that they establish. The visitation rights can also be withdrawn by the custodial parent(s) if and whenever they so choose. It would be in the best interest of those involved for the custodial parents to establish guidelines (boundaries) before visitation is allowed.


Does a biological father have any custodial rights if his name is not on the birth certificate?

Yes he does. If he wants to see his child he needs to go to court to set up legal visitation and support of the child. If he refuse's to comply with the court on child support they could pronounce him the father and he would have to pay child support anyway. Most fathers are having DNA tests done in the hopes of getting out from under child support and it works if they are not the biological parent.

If you were never married to the father of your child and there is not a court order for visitation would a judge remove the child from your custody if you move out of state?

No. If there is not a custodial order in place the law presumes that an unmarried mother has full custodial rights to her child and does not need permission from the biological father or the court in matters concerning the child. In addition, when a child is born out-of-wedlock the biological father must establish paternity before custodial, visitation and child support can be addressed.

Which means that the biological father is NOT obligated to pay child support anymore. The new adoptive father has taken on all rights and responsibilities for the child.

What are the custodial rights of unwed mothers in the state of Tennessee?

In all U.S. states the biological unwed mother is considered to have sole legal and physical custody of her child. If the biological father wishes to assert his parental rights he must first establish paternity to the child in question and petition the court for visitation privileges or custodial rights. If the mother wishes to pursue child support for the minor child she must show proof of paternity (signed birth certificate, or notarized affidavit for the father). It is the responsibility of the alledged father to prove he is or is not the biological father of the child, regarding custody, visitation and/or obligation of financial support.
