Can a father release parental rights even if the mother does not have someone to take over the parental rights?

Yes . You would have to have a document signed by the father and get it file and signed by the judge. You also want to ask your local family courthouse for help on this. Remember forms are available online as well. Once he signs his parental rights he is not obligated to the child. Rememeber once the father dies and he has money your child is entitled to that inherentence.

The father signs over his parental rights to the mother.

It's not about right's two people can agree to what ever they want. Now the state will hunt down the gentic father to the ends of the earth (irrardless of any agreements) and anyone else to see to it that a kids mommy gets supported.

I would contact a lawyer and see what you can do. If he does sign over rights, you can not get anything like child support. If that is an issue. I wish you all the luck in this case.

No, not in Iowa anyway. When my oldest son's father wanted to sign over rights to our son, I had to have someone to pick up the rights. Otherwise, he couldn't sign them over. Something to do w/ child support. If there wasn't anyone to pick up the rights, then there wouldn't be anyone to pay child support.

So someone else can adopt the child. If a father gives up custody then the mothers husband can adopt the child and the other way around. They dont have to pay child support which helps out people who has trouble paying.

no , there is not a judge in the world that would allow it, even if both parents agree, i don't know why people think it is so easy to just give up there children, it is not, children are something you should fight for,

I think it depends on where you live, but most likely, yes. Sorry!
Here, check out some of these sites.
http://adopting.adoption.com/child/parental-rights.html--Though this site is mostly about adoption, it has some good information.
http://www.jud.state.ct.us/LawLib/Notebooks/Pathfinders/TerminationofParentalRightsinCT/termination.htm--Good....it's very very legal. Must be the actual information.
http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Parents/FamilyIssuesAndTheLaw/ParentsRights/DG_4002954--Very helpful, somewhat theoretical....but still very helpful.
Good luck!

I believe so, but he'd have to do it through the court system. Call a local lawyer, they could give you better information.

I'm not completly sure but I would think so. If you have the papers drawn up and he signs it is a done deal.
