Giving up parental rights??

Question

Can one parent give up their parental rights with out the other parents consent?

Answer 1

They can give up their own, but then the child will go to the other parent

Answer 2

Yes, but you'd have to go to court and inform the other parent, who would then become the sole caregiver of the child.

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

Feel free to do a little research on your own. There are 7 pages of parental rights questions. I know, I know a little bit of work and why bother doing it when you can just have other people do it for you right? I'll tell you why BECAUSE THIS IS ABOUT A HUMAN LIFE.

go do your homework.  

Answer 5

Both parents are supposed to sign relinquishment documents in order for a child to be available for adoption.  But, one parent can certainly give up his or her rights and the other parent keep the child.

Answer 6

I think a man would have to have the mom's consent, otherwise there would be a lot more men signing over their rights instead of paying child support.  

Answer 7

yep but financially its probably up to the court if the other parent doesnt accept full responsibility.
