Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Safe Haven Laws: If a woman takes a child to a centre to forfeit the child and the father claims custody is the mother liable for child support? Is the same applicable for the father or would he be accused of kidnapping, as I suspect?
(this question is general and not specific on states)
1 Answer from Attorneys
Family law is state specific. I only practice law in Texas so I have no idea what another state would do.
If dad has custody, then he can ask for child support from mom. If mom's rights were terminated then generally in Texas any child support obligation ends.
Generallly a parent cannot kidnap their own child unless there are court orders in place.
If you have any other questions, talk to an attorney. If you are writing a book, I often talked to authors about their story line. Unfortunately, it is difficult to write a book on this topic since family law varies so much from state-to-state.
