Q: How do I know if my fiancé signed away his rights to his child. Arkansas
The custudy papers say the mother gets sole legal and physical custudy. It also states that his signature could be used in a single parent adoption he does pay child support.
A:
Unless his parental rights have specifically been terminated, he can probably still go back to court and prove a material change which would warrant him getting some visitation.
It depends on the specific language in the last custody order. If he wants to have visitation with the child, he should consult privately with an attorney to see how likely that is and what he'd have to do.
