Can a biological father get his rights back after a steparent adoption in Louisiana?
No, in order to have a step parent adoption, the birth father's parental rights must be permanently terminated.
Custodial parent denies Noncustodial parent visitation rights in Mississippi?
Unless visitation rights for the non-custodial parent were allowed in the divorce paperwork, the custodial parent is completely within their rights to deny the non-custodial parent visitation....however, the non-custodial parent may sue for visitation rights.
Is the non custodial parent or grand parents legal if the custodial parent is not present?
Parental rights are paramount to "grandparents rights". In most jurisdictions there are no such rights.
Does a father with joint custody lose his parental rights when he fails to pay child support for 6 months in Louisiana?
No. Custodial or visitations issues and child support are completely different matters. Parental rights can only be relinquished voluntarily by the parent or permanently terminated by the court.
In the state of Wisconsin do step parents have rights to step children if the custodial parents have fifty fifty custody and placement?
A step parent does have some rights, but they are extremely limited. In Wisconsin, step parents do have rights regarding day to day care, BUT their rights are subject to the wishes of the biological parent that they are married to. As regards parental rights, a step parent is not considered a parent, but a legal guardian. In all major decisions (custody) or major events, a step parent does NOT have rights, nor can they contest a parent's rights in court unless they can prove a danger to the child would occur. In fact, a step parent who interfears with a biological parent's rights in any way can be held in Contempt for doing so. In ALL matters regarding the children, the rights of the step parent is ALWAYS trumped by either biological parent, unless a judge interseeds. In joint custody arrangements, both parents have equal rights, no one parent is above the other, no matter who has the children more, and a step parent cannot be a tie-breaker unless both parents agree. Only a judge, federal law, or state law can overrule or remove a biological parent's rights. The bottom line is the rights of a step parent in Wisconsin are VERY limited and are always subject to the biological parents.
