| | | Mother Gave Up Baby;father Wants It
What is the name of your state?CA
Mother of infant gave up child for adoption/foster care. County contacted the father re:establishing paternity. If he is the biological father, he wants to assume custody of child, without 'forcing' the mother's involvement.Since the child is currently in foster care, (approx 2 months old) what does the father need to do to enforce his biological rights to assume custody? ( fyi: mother involved father in birth of baby, then took off approx 4 days post delivery, w/no forwarding info,no contact.The only contact he rcd was when he was called by county office for paternity test) |

In fact, you are so astonishingly correct in this matter, it will not surprise us one bit if you are offered a generous settlement, because, by golly, that’s just how it should be.

| | | My apologies... Ok, an aquaintance got this girl pregnant. Kept him involved up through birth of baby boy. Approximately 4 days after the birth, she "dissappears". No forwarding address, or any contact whatsoever. He recieves a call from an attorney re:a paternity test so she can complete the process of terminating parental obligations, for purpose of giving baby up for adoption. He tells atty that no way is he going to agree to give child up for adoption. County(?) contacts him, says he must take DNA to establish parentage. He agrees, and submits to test. Now, child is currently in foster placement.He goes to court this week for the DNA determination. If the child is biologically his, he wants to take legal and physical custody of baby. What steps does he need to take, in order to gain custodial rights of child? And if the DNA proves the baby to be his, doesn't he have automatic rights to the child? Please assist with response. Thanks! |

Thanks! | Yes, if its his child he has rights. However I would recommend that he get an attorney to help him protect his rights. It gets tricky when the state wishes to place a child for adoption. | |
