What rights does a father have to an unborn child in Mississippi?
To an unborn child? None. The biological father has no say whatsoever in whether or not the mother gets an abortion or how the mother chooses to carry and deliver the baby.The moment the child is born, however, the married father has the same rights as the mother. He has the right to have his name added to the birth certificate, even if the mother doesn't want him to, and he can petition for partial custody of the child. He also has the right to voice his opinion about any early medical decisions that might have to be made, such as circumcision. An unmarried father must establish his paternity in court and then can petition for custody and visitations.
It is possible to register the birth certificate of a newborn baby if the FATHER doesnt want to sign on it and doesnt want to use hes SURNAME?
Yes, you can. Most states prohibit naming a father without either a marriage license or a DNA test. Of course, if you are unmarried and sue the child's father for child support, the father's name will be added to the birth certificate. Also, in almost all child support cases, the child's last name is changed to the father's last name.
The Child's mother dies grandma want custody of the child over the father who was married to the mother at the time of death but DNA says the father is not the biologicial father?
He can still gain custody as the presumptive father.
What rights does a father have if he leaves his wife and baby?
The father still has rights but is not entitled to see the baby whenever he wants to as he left the mother to raise the baby by herself she can choose how, when and why she does or does not want the father to be in cotact.
How do you sign over an unborn child to his father?
If the question is "how does a mother sign away her rights to a child before the child is born so that the father can be the primary parent?". The answer is, she can't. Mothers and fathers alike will have rights and responsibilities to their children unless the state determines them to be unfit and terminates their rights OR unless a step-parent decides they wish to adopt and papers are filed for the termination of the mother's or father's rights so that the step-mother or step-father can adopt instead. If the question regards a mother who does not want to be a primary parent to the child and a father who wants to be a primary parent (the parents are in agreement). There should be no problem transferring custody to the father with or without the court's involvement. Either parent may raise the child without interference from the court as long as the other parent agrees. However, mothers, like fathers, may be assessed for child support in this situation. In the eyes of the law, the child's best interest is what matters and if a mother does not want a relationship with her child, the court is still going to hold her responsible, financially, for that child. Also, if the child wants to seek a relationship with the mother, the court would want the child to be able to know the mother and find the mother. Only in the case of adoption either by a step-parent or by another couple will the court sever the rights of a mother or father. No action concerning custody, visitation, child support or any issues concerning the child can be or will be addressed by the court until the child is born and parentage is established.
